First, F that guy and his contractor too. They're both a-holes for being so irresponsible with the fires. That said - I do wonder if the future neighbor is even aware that something happened. If it's an empty lot (i.e., the future neighbor isn't living there now) and the neighbor doesn't visit regularly it might be possible that the person just doesn't know. This is definitely an inauspicious start to your relationship with the future neighbor but hopefully the person will turn out better once they actually live there.
