If co-owners divide a courtyard lengthwise and build walls, are they obligated to fill the space remaining between their walls?

Primary text
If co-owners divide the courtyard lengthwise, each builds a wall for themselves, and a gap remains between the walls, neither owner is compelled to fill the gap, nor are they prevented from filling it, as filling the gap is treated as building upon one's own allotted property.
