You could (if your lease or HOA / Condo Covenants & Restrictions allow it) erect a screen or enclosure on your balcony, or hang blinds or draperies. Likewise, if you own the property, you could possibly plant trees or tall hedges or erect a tall fence, within the laws and guidelines your property is subject to. If you're looking to block them from seeing into your home through a window or glass door on your balcony, use draperies, curtains, blinds, or shutters... Or, in a pinch, cardboard, aluminum foil, or a spare blanket. You can't legally block your neighbor's window, you can only block his view at the line of your property... Once you're out on your balcony, you're considered to be in public, and have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
