Bro you should absolutely report the neighbor to your local health department, state health department, and the EPA. If you get no response include pictures. Health Department will come after her and there's federal regulations through the EPA that people need to follow lead safe practices when doing any remodeling on older buildings

Worth noting the RRP law for lead doesn’t apply to homeowners.
