1007. A co-owner of a common wall has a right to heighten it at his own expense after ascertaining by means of an expert appraisal that it can withstand it, and shall pay one sixth of the cost of the heightening to the other as an indemnity.
If the wall cannot withstand heightening, the co-owner shall rebuild the entire wall at his own expense, any additional thickness going on his own side.
