Thank you for your question. I am assuming that the bamboo that is invading your property is a running (rhizomatous) bamboo variety (as opposed to clumping bamboo). Since we are unable to give legal advice in this forum, I suggest you contact your city to see if there are regulatory constraints on growing running bamboo on property lines. Absent a specific law, your only remedy would be to seek the advice of an attorney. Here is an Extension article with suggestions about actions you can take short of legal action: Bamboo control extension question - UC Weed Science - ANR Blogs (ucanr.edu)
I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
