Question

Hi, i have an utility pole in my backyard. Con Edison, Verizon and Cablevision uses it. I would like to know if this pole is considered to be on my property or do these companies have the right to use my property? I never granted them permission. The reason i ask is i would either like to have this pole removed from my backyard or these companies should pay me rent.

Answer

Please contact me offline. My firm runs a practice suing utility companies for unlawful use of other peoples' property.
