What is the proper way to handle such cases? This is one of the increasing number of issues that people are now facing with zero boundary lots and the answer to your question comes back to the natural ground levels and the surveyed boundary as to which builder has (possibly) been negligent in their responsibility. Which house was built first? The concretor has not sloped the path to set it below your neighbour's weep holes or had suitable drainage installed. Do you know the path's slope (the fall in mm away from the slab over 1 metre)? Regulations vary between the States but you have not posted what State you are in. Without knowing this or the path's slope, it is not possible to say whether your neighbour's weep holes would have remained at a compliant height had the path been sloped differently and suitable drainage installed but the concretor hasn't done anyone any favours from what I can see. You can't move weep holes. The links below relate to one member's dramas with weep holes, drainage and ground levels (and some other issues) at hand over.

To have the best chance of concretors seeing this thread, it should have been posted in the Paving and Concreting sub forum but you can ask Homeone to have it moved. 3 in 1 Supadiverta. 0.75mm filter.
