This is the back/side of the house. The water goes under the gate and down the space between my neighbor and I towards the sidewalk. There is a manhole before the sidewalk on my side.
Note that it normally is not this bad…I forgot to move 2 bricks at the foot of the gate (to keep rabbits from going under) that ended up holding a pile of leaves and clogging the flow worse than usual.
I’m not sure if I need to:
1) build this area up
2) install a French drain
3) 1 &2
4) something else entirely
I’m not sure how I would end the French drain given there’s a sidewalk.
Thanks for the help.

20′-30′ of French Drain along the lowest point starting at the downspout is what I would do
