Vinegar will work.
I would go to local garden center or call your County/State Extension Service for the answer. Don't let ivy get under siding or grow on brick because it can ruin the mortar somehow. Wish I could explain better. Read it in a book or heard it on TV a long time ago.
I would talk to the neighbors and ask them to keep it trimmed on their side and away from your property.... And tell them if they won't, you will have to start spraying it to protect your landscaping and structures from the damage it can cause... then do it... if it dies on their side.. your problem is solved
