We moved into our new home about four months ago. We have WONDERFUL neighbors to the left of us and behind us. We are on a corner lot so they are our only adjoining neighbors. We got a warning from both of them about the neighbor diagonally from us. . . which we are finally taking SERIOUSLY. (Yes warnings from neighbors are good things.) So this is all HEAR SAY.

Well the guy that owns the Paint Shed of DOOM, apparently sprays paint on cars. It is a home run business that paints cars. Thus the apparent spray painting of cars. (Duh) Anyway, the fumes got so bad that the people in the neighborhood started getting ill. He was asked to stop, but said he had a license to paint. The former owners of our house would complain often. The school a block away finally called the fire department about the smells. They came out and told him to stop painting cars in a residential area.

Seems like all is taken care of? NO, he would instead paint cars after the children would be out of that school. He got many more complaints about the smell. Finally when our neighbors to the left of us had their kids getting very ill, they went over and told him to stop. That they would call the police, fire department, department of health, everything. He refused, so they did. He threatened to sue them, fake things, etc…

After this his license to run a business was revoked. He continued to spray his ‘own’ cars then after that. He sprayed on the side of his Shed of DOOM “Bite Me” or something equivalent. He then claimed he fell on our neighbor’s property hurting himself. He said he wants to be compensated for his injury, and loss of work because of them. They are going through a lawsuit with this man right now. He is suing them for some unimaginable amount of money, trying to ‘drive them away’.

Other than that, we haven’t heard much about the neighbor except he’s an ass, and don’t mess with him. We have heard the paint compressors at night, but have not smelled anything. I have to say, I smell ONE DROP of paint from his sorry ass shed, I will call the health people.
