I’m dealing with a situation where my landlord has hired the local gas company to come out and cap a gas line to install hvac into the lower unit of a duplex that I rent. I came home last night to find the driveway I use to access my upper unit safely blocked off due to a sidewalk repair from the install prior.
Now I have no access to my driveway and I had no notice of said repair or timelime of when use will be restored. Do I have any legal standing or is it even worth filing a claim with the municipal court for the lack of notice?

No. It is not.
There is no real claim here. Your damages, if any, are very small. Additionally, landlords are allowed to temporarily restrict access for necessary repairs which this obviously is.
In summary: you likely don’t have a claim and if you do, it isn’t worth the hassle.
