If you address this with the other property owner now, it may be resolved amicably. If you sit around ignoring their concern, it won't.

Check your survey, and if necessary, have the surveying company come back and mark the corners and the line.

Did you have a survey performed when you purchased? It appears not.

Agreed, but for a new construction home my expectation would be for whoever made a mistake to correct. If the surveyor or builder marked it wrong, they should pay for it. If the fence company just put it in the wrong place, they should come back and move it.
