Do you have a claim to your neighbors property since his fence is located 15in into his yard and he has just brought it to your attention after 4 years?
You have no reason for making a claim on your neighbours property firstly because you have said that his fence is 15 inches into his own yard but if you have had your fence up against his then this would mean that your fence is on his property and he can ask you to move your fence back by 15 inches as the land is his and not yours though again it would depend whos yard the fence posts are in because if your fence posts are also on his 15 inches of land then the fence is lawfully his too and not yours and the same goes for him if his fence posts are on your property then lawfully the fence is yours as the ownership of whos fence all lies down to where the fence posts are and not the actual fencing part of it.

The answer to this question may vary depending on local laws and regulations.
