I would suggest that you contact your local zoning/building department. In many localities there are very specific local rules and regulations regarding fences, including maximum height and materials that may be used. In addition, you will want to check if proper building permits have been issued for the fence. If you find that the fence is being constructed in violation of the local rules, you should consult with an attorney to explore the actions that may be taken to make sure that the fence is properly constructed.
