Construction next door - need a contractor's input

While I will agree with rude I don't think it's trespassing as I don't own the sidewalk in front of my row house (although if someone slips and falls because I didn't shovel the snow it's on me but that's another discussion).

I think I'll just reach out to the builder again gently. I want to reserve my being a jerk mode for starting before 7 am and hopefully if I tread carefully through this that will be a non-issue.

Do you have pictures? I would take some as evidence if you do indeed have to file a complaint with City Hall. Please post if you can; I am a contractor, but don't think I am fully understanding the situation. Sidewalks are public walkways, but leaning materials against your home sounds like a violation to me. The contractor will surely listen to the inspector more so than a neighbor as he has the power to determine if contruction will be able to proceed.

Also, what were the horses for? Are they Amish builders?
