Short answer. There may be. Article 287 closes with a residual clause covering any other coercions or unjust vexations, which is the provision people mean when they speak of unjust vexation. It exists precisely for conduct too small to fit a named offence but still without lawful justification.

A deliberately open clause
After dealing with the creditor who seizes his debtor's property, Article 287 adds a second paragraph directed at any other coercions or unjust vexations. That is all the description the Code gives. There is no list of acts and no definition of vexation, which is unusual in a penal statute and clearly intentional: the paragraph is a residual one, written to catch conduct that is genuinely wrongful but too varied and too small to be enumerated. Its breadth is the point of it.
Breadth is not unlimitedness
The adjective doing the work is unjust. Annoyance alone is not the offence; the annoyance must be without lawful justification. A neighbour exercising his own rights over his own property, or doing something you find disagreeable but are not entitled to stop, is not within the clause however irritating the result. This is the distinction that decides most complaints of this kind, and it is worth applying to your own list of grievances honestly before pursuing them, because the ones that fail usually fail here rather than on the evidence.
A pattern is more useful than an incident
Conduct of this sort is rarely convincing when described as a single event, because any one act sounds trivial in isolation — that is what makes it vexation rather than something graver. What makes a case is the repetition and the absence of any purpose other than to cause distress. So the record that matters is a cumulative one, showing that the acts recurred, that they were directed at you, and that they continued after the other side knew their effect. That last point is often what converts a nuisance into something the clause reaches.
Build the record before you file anything
Keep a dated log with a line for each incident and, where possible, a photograph, recording or message that fixes it. Note anyone else who witnessed it. Keep your own responses measured and in writing, because your conduct will be examined alongside the other side's, and a reply in kind complicates a complaint considerably. Where the two of you are in a continuing dispute over something else, mention that to a lawyer at the outset — it usually explains the conduct and it always shapes the advice.
