Building built without open space from road


16-Oct-2023 (In Property Law)
There is a 2 floor new residential construction on a 20 feet road on a 500 sq feet land without any open space on any side due to which the privacy of my adjoining house on a 2400 sq feet area is getting affected. Is there no way or rule stating that there must be an open space or gap between adjacent houses and also gap from the road ??? Pl advice.

Setback.
(1) Minimum Setback, 60-Foot Right-of-Way.

(a) The minimum building setback from any county road right-of-way, 60 feet in width or less, shall be 55 feet from the right-of-way centerline, as established by the records of the Lewis County engineer; provided, that this standard shall not apply to alleys.

(b) Where the existing right-of-way has only been constructed as a half street improvement (and the other half has not yet been constructed), the 55 feet shall be measured from the planned center of the overall width of the total right-of-way.
