A "bad neighborhood" are sites like link farms and low quality directories that are very spammy. A link from one of those sites to your webpage can have a negative effect on your SEO instead of positive one. A lot of blackhat SEOs who are just trying to make a quick buck will have their clients linked from bad neighborhoods and charge for the backlinks.

If you find that a bad neighborhood site has a link pointing to your site that is damaging your rankings - is there a way to block or not accept the link from the bad neighborhood site?

I have this situation and have repeatedly tried to contact the site owners and they have not removed the link to my site. This has caused my site to drop from first page of Google to 14th page.

It should not be treated as black hat technique but it certainly would not provide you much help too as you are placing on such page that has lots of links from other niche and of very low quality websites so you should avoid getting such backlinks and should focus only on quality backlinks from quality websites related to your niche as when it comes to backlinks
