Celebrity Justice
Kathy Griffin Declares Land War

So your neighbor decides he's going to widen a road that leads to the home of an elderly woman. Why? Because that's how he rolls.
Kathy Griffin
But what happens when he rolls right over your fence and starts building a retaining wall on your property without your permission? If you're Kathy Griffin, you do more than stand-up -- you call the city and put an immediate stop to the illegal incursion.

While the seemingly well intended, do-it-yourself neighbor claims he's only trying to make room for the inevitable arrival of emergency vehicles, Kathy is holding firm.

TMZ has learned Griffin was informed by friends while out of town that her fence had been laid to waste, and has since issued an official "stop work" notice. We've also been informed that notice or no notice, construction continues.

Our advice? Don't piss off a woman that can shred you in front of a national audience for years to come.

31. All Kathy has to do is threaten a lawsuit and stipulate that when she wins, other dude will have to pay her attorney fees. He has no right to do this and he will pay.

32. OH! and for the record, the easement was originally covering 304 sq ft of her property and I moved and widened the driveway on MY property as a comprise even though she has no right to have the driveway moved off the 304 sq ft!! By constantly blocking the upgrade of the driveway, the woman at the top who is 68 years old and just had hip surgery, cannot drive to her house and must walk up this hill. Facts are facts, but sometimes people just pick and choose the facts. Safety of my elderly neighbor is more important than waiting for Kathy to continue a fight over 49 sq. ft. Who knows where the reatining wall idea came from cuz it wasn't me!

37. Gee, NEIGHBOR, I wonder why they put the 'STOP WORK' order on your ass if you're in the right? Why isn't the neighbor having this fight, by the way? Sounds like you just want to fight over 49 feet, not Kathy. If you ARE right, why not go through the proper legal channels instead of just deciding you're going to rip her fence down and do it anyway? Hope you've got plenty of cash up there in the hills because you're going to need it for attorneys and to build a new fence!

38. ManBearPig appartantly describes you well since you talk out of your ass without knowing all the facts. It's an EASEMENT and maybe you should read up on that...it means the property is COMMON and she doesn't own it. And for the record, the stop work notice is for the reatining wall behind my house and my driveway leading TO the easement. While all the stuff in the notice already is in compliance, the power of celebrity means they can call all kind of city officals to kiss ass and just keep slapping me with garbage to keep me from finishing my house.

The fence was put back in its old place..nothing was changed. So I don't know where you got your info from. I can prove it. The owner of the house that the construction was taking place. Was nothing but
