party wall
Neighbors' common barrier
A party wall is a wall shared by two adjoining buildings or properties, standing on the boundary line between them.
Each owner typically has rights to the wall and responsibilities for its maintenance.
The term appears most often in real estate and construction contexts: The renovation required approval from the neighbor because it affected the party wall.
