What am I missing here? Why would YOU talk to the construction folks. Why wouldn’t you talk to the people who OWN the property and are hiring the worker?

When our house was being built, there was a small problem. Our new neighbors called US, the owners, and WE talked to our contractors. To be honest, I would have been mighty annoyed if my neighbors had decided to deal with this issue themselves. That was MY job, not theirs.

I would expect that the construction folks would adhere to any town rules you have. If there are issues, contact the owners first before you contact the “authorities”. And let the owners deal with their contractors.
