It is more of a civil dispute. You must get an estimate for repair and file a civil suit for damages. A police complaint would be applicable only if you can point our to any specific violations under the IPC.

You should serve a legal notice through a lawyer and then file suit for for mandatory injunction seeking direction to neighbour for repair and maintenance and also permanent injunction against him. With the permission of the court you can get the problem fixed and recover costs and damages from him. Police will not do needful as the dispute is of civil nature.
