A MOM claims she has been left blindsided after her neighbors complained about her son’s treehouse.
Jill Maloney and her husband moved to Portsmouth two years ago and built the play area for their nine-year-old son.

The family was left “completely blindsided” when Mark Moses and his wife, who live directly behind the Maloneys, said they had a problem with the treehouse.
Moses told NBC10 that its size “dominates the field of view in our backyard”.
Maloney said that her family didn’t have any intention of “making enemies” with their neighbors.
She said: “All we wanted to do was have a place for a child to play.”
The Portsmouth Board of Adjustment says the treehouse, which is 25 feet in length and has a 168-square-foot platform, needs to be moved to comply with zoning regulations.
It has to be moved at least eight feet off the property line.
Contractor John Raczek said: “It’s probably going to be the same size. So, I’m not sure how that’s going to change anything.”
The Sun has approached the Portsmouth Zoning Board of Adjustment for comment.
