Property rights. If the adjacent property is unsafe due to your actions, you should pay to fix the problem.

  If someone buys the adjacent property after you've made it unsafe without breaking any laws, who pays?

    I'd say still you. That wasn't your property to make unsafe. If it's your own property that you've made unsafe, then sell it, I'd consider it on the buyer, unless you hid that it was unsafe

      If it's your own property that you've made unsafe, then sell it, I'd consider it on the buyer, unless you hid that it was unsafe. No one should be able to build houses or establish habitations on poisonous and polluted area. You can sell poisonous land to someone else but anyone owning poisonous land needs to take precautions to keep people off. It's like one should be able to sell spoiled food (to eat) or lead contaminated toys. Warning people here isn't enough because some people will be foolish or desperate.

    For someone to buy it someone has to sell it, no? The adjacent property is already owned and already being spoiled.

      Not necessarily. Maybe it is unclaimed land. I don't know how the law works in that case, but there's certainly nobody who "sells it".
