Article 231Construction Work Raising Height of Co-Owned Walls

第二百三十一条(共有の障壁の高さを増す工事)

One of neighboring owners may raise the height of a co-owned wall; provided, however, that if the wall cannot withstand the construction work, the relevant owner must reinforce that wall as necessary or rebuild the same at the owner's own expense.

相隣者の一人は、共有の障壁の高さを増すことができる。ただし、その障壁がその工事に耐えないときは、自己の費用で、必要な工作を加え、又はその障壁を改築しなければならない。

If the height of a wall is raised pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the raised portion is owned solely by the owner that carried out the construction work.

前項の規定により障壁の高さを増したときは、その高さを増した部分は、その工事をした者の単独の所有に属する。
