Without knowing the specific facts involved, I would say the abutting property owner likely cannot simply channel his run-off onto your property. The town code enforcement office should be able to handle this, as this should be part of the development permitting process. You should approach the town about this issue first, but if they don't provide relief you will likely need to hire an attorney.

I would be happy to look into this situation if you want. Feel free to call my office about this.
