Legal Question in Construction Law in California

Construction Law
Between my property and my neighbor's property lies a retaining wall in disrepair. The wall was made more as a decorative wall then an actual retaining wall.(single layer of unreinforced bricks)
The fence lies on my property and is holding back his lawn. The land on my side of the fence was not graded down to increase usability of my land. He wants me to pay for the new wall. I have no need to do so. Who is liable?

Re: Construction Law

He who wants the wall gets to pay, unless you agree to share the expense since it will benefit your property.

Re: Construction Law

Your neighbor should put up his own wall if he doesn't like yours. Be sure that he doesn't put it on your side of the property line.
