sometimes it's just good to keep your mouth shut... where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge...

Yep. It's not written on your front door "we illegally raised the knee wall"

The foreman told me that they had to increase the knee wall from 75cm to 88cm to make the roller shutter boxes work... is it really that simple? Wouldn't you then have to submit a new clearance request?

Does someone from the authorities come and measure whether you are complying with the regulations?

It is sufficient if a neighbor complains and it cannot be remedied afterward (because, for example, the height limits have been reached). I have actually heard of raising the roof and having the height corrected as a measure (I do not work in the building authority myself). By the way, I only said that the general contractor should clarify what is going on there. Not that one should immediately go to the authority.

Depends on the neighbors. One of them also lives here, who sneaks around every new construction/expansion. During a renovation two years ago, very precise measurements were taken again because something apparently didn’t fit with the roof overhangs. That had to be changed as well.

just laughing out loud right now ..........

he probably has many friends ......

And if you can't change something anymore? Then a fine? What does an overly high knee wall cost?
