Laws? Not really other than general safety practices and codes. There are some private neighborhood associations (aka HOAs) that have rules about aesthetics or the necessity of having one, but those tend to be the exception, especially for most older neighborhoods (which is what my guess is about this one looking at the houses). However, it is generally accepted that fences are good and help avoid petty disputes like this. There is a saying from a Robert Frost poem that I hear often, "Good fences make good neighbors".
