No. An alley is not private property and is there for access by all. If you built a fence across the alley others would not be able to use it. In many cities the garbage collection is done using alleys.
Another View: The above answer would apply if the alley was a "public way."
While there ARE such things as 'private' alleyways, caution must be used if you own it and decide to close it off. If it has been used for a certain period of time (set forth in your states laws) as a thoroughfare by the public (even though it IS private property) you may not legally be able to close access to it without notice.

The legality of building a fence across an alley can vary depending on the local laws and regulations in your area. You should check with your local zoning department or municipality to determine what the rules and restrictions are for building structures across alleys. In some cases, you may need to obtain permission or a permit before constructing a fence across an alley.

Can a neighbor put a fence up on your property?
If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.

I'm going to assume that FPL stands for Florida Power and Light. If that is correct - if you have a fence constructed across their easement on your property - they have a legal right to access your property to work on their system. Although they should probably have asked first, if the case was an EMERGENCY situation, yes, they can access the property to make emergency repairs to a public utility.

If your neighbor agreed you'd build a fence together-pay for it together-your husband would build it-and it veered to his property a few inches on 3 sections is there legal action he can pursue?
A fence that isn't straight is considered to be poor workmanship. Many people get upset about poor workmanship and don't want to pay for it. You'll need to work out the details with your neighbor but don't be too surprised if he/she isn't happy about it. Is the agreement in writing? If not you are on very weak standing. Anything built on your neighbors property legal belongs to them, try to negotiate. I would not get confrontational with the neighbor, keep in mind that they could charge you for taking down the fence and keep the material! The rights of neighbors in this situation is discussed in a treatise called the Restatement (Second) of Torts Section 164 (1977).
