In some areas around here built in the 50's are like that. They have these 1 story homes with low service drops and long spans to the pole. Then they must have built the next house under it. Never had much luck geting the utility to do anything about it even if it cost the customer.

I know one where it looked like the neibor built an addition under the lines with out the proper clearance. If it passed inspection then who is responcable for the service drop too close to the roof? The person with the service, the neibor with the addition, the city for passing the inspection, or the utility?
