Because of a surveying error the common property line was marked about 50 north of its actual location. This line was observed as the property line by the current owner of 450 and the former owner of 460. Amit Sela Holdings Inc. purchased 460 in July, 2007. In August, 2007, a survey of it showed the house at 450 was 21 feet onto Sela's property.
