I've got no advice on how to handle neighbor. But I just had an AC installed about 6 feet away from my bedroom window. Can't hear it at all.

Uh, no. If the AC was on the OP's land, then yes, it's possible that adverse possession could result in loss of land (assuming all of the factors of his state are met). But that isn't the fact here. And a person doesn't gain the right to ignore code compliance, and the OP doesn't lose the right to protection of the code, simply because nobody said anything for a period of time.

Has anyone recommended just shooting the neighbor yet? This is America, isn't that how we solve things?

The thing I don't like about this is it doesn't convey the truth which is that the noise from the a/c unit is annoying you. If it were me the fact that I was pissing off my neighbor would weigh much more heavily on my conscience than the fact that I'm violating a city code.

I wouldn't call the code compliance officer unless you are damn sure your place checks out. I'd also want to make sure my other neighbors as well before they get caught up in the mess unintentionally.
My parents got a nice notice from the local code guy growing up after two other neighbors got into a hissy fit about their own respective code violations. The officer came in and made the whole neighborhood's life hell regardless of whether they were part of the initial imbroglio in the first place. I wouldn't want to be known as the neighbor who did that.
I'd ask the neighbor nicely and hope for the best. I don't see how a 10 foot setback is going to change anything here as a loud ac unit is going to be audible no matter where the guy places it. The dude isn't going to move it back to the backyard after putting in all that work so you are going to be stuck with it one way or another me thinks.Live Free or Die

This is a main reason why I never called on landlord side A of our back yard where there is a massive totally unmanaged bamboo patch that keeps shooting under our fence. The fence on the back side between us and neighbor B is actually in a paper alley with neighbor B claiming a big chunk of that paper alley that the city never paved. If the City came out to cite the bamboo they will certainly pitch a fit about the fence and back neighbor's work shed being in the paper alley. Odd that adverse possession doesn't apply to government property and easements LOL.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

That's our neighborhood. It's nice to have a nice house with: little if any yardwork, walking distance to the express bus to downtown, (or 20 miles away), walking distance to a bunch of restaurants, or movie theater, or mountain bike trail, road cycling where cars wave you through all the intersections and give you a return thumbs-up...
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Not to my knowledge; when you violate the municipality code you don't gain "freedom" from it simply because it did not come to their attention in time. There is no property rights of the OP at play, there's nothing he can lose or that his neighbor can gain possession over. And while it is typically a neighbor complaint that brings a violation to the municipality's attention, it is not the neighbors' responsibility to bring it to their attention. It is the homeowner's responsibility to properly permit his work and obey codes (and it sounds like this should have been permitted, at least it would need to be in my jxn).

Around here if you manage to get away with building in a setback they're not going to make you tear down your house but if it's something like an ac unit they can make you move it no matter how long it's been there.
In Sacramento the rule is so many decibels at the neighbor's property line--applies to AC's and any other noise source. Around here in Truckee no one has AC of course (but will someday)--the big one is light trespass. By code the external lights can't be visible from the neighbors. Not many people pay attention to that. I just unscrew the lightbulbs on the rental next door when no one is there.
