When you say, "it's a foreclosure home" I take that to mean the property has been foreclosed on by a lender. If that is the case, you have a claim against the lender/bank that now owns the home. It would be wise to discuss this with your homeowners insurance company as they may provide you with a lawyer to go after the owner of the neighboring property.
