So they bought a house constructed right next to the property line and are shocked when the other house is also built right next to the same property line?

The allowed building zone per lot was made to prevent houses from basically touching like that. The neighbour was not authorized to build this close.
The neighbour's plan, or construction crew, ignored the legal building zone, and the neighbour asked the council for a "relaxation", which was granted.
It should not have been granted. This is a hazard in multiple way.
Dangerous to do any maintenance between the buildings and a fire hazard.
Of course all of this would have been avoided by the developper not making ridiculously tiny lots to min-max his profits.

Seriously, I would have been cutting all those 2x4s as they were lining them up along the side of my house. They would have never finished construction once I knew they were seriously trying to pull that shit.
I’d bet my life it’s going to end up being a rental.

At that you might as well have a condo. Are there even windows between the two? How would you go about painting, cleaning or maintaining the wall between?

Like a duplex or a townhome?
