A 98-year-old grandmother whose quiet suburban lifestyle was cruelly disrupted while a mansion was being built next door is furious after discovering her neighbour had erected a hideous, 3.8m high wall against her rear fence.
Shau Ying Luk, an elderly woman who immigrated from China, had happily lived in her Eastwood home in Sydney's north-west for more than 20 years but in 2019 her little slice of paradise was destroyed.
A property developer bought the adjacent red brick federation home before knocking it down and erecting in its place a huge black and grey monstrosity.
Ms Luk's granddaughter, Aiva, told Daily Mail Australia the builders regularly threw rubbish into her grandmother's yard, pushed dirt over her fence and even pumped dirty pool water into her garden.
'I live up the road, but I thought it wasn't any of my business. But as soon as they put that wall next to my grandma's, they went too far - my grandma can't speak English,' she said.

The new neighbour has now erected a giant wall which Ms Luk says has ruined her lush garden by blocking out vital sun light
The wall towers over Ms Luk's wooden fence, casting shadows across her garden and empty pool.
On the owner's side it has new wood panelling and neat finishes, but on the reverse side are raw materials and exposed screws.
'If they made it looking as nice as the other side we wouldn't mind so much,' Aiva said.
'Even if it were wood it'd be better, but the height is just ridiculous.'
Ms Luk said she had a number of problems with the builders of the home, who she claims repeatedly threw rubbish and even piled dirt into her garden.
But her biggest gripe is with the wall which has ruined her backyard and blocked out sun light making
