Description

A tree that is in front of our house was reported a couple of months ago. It is leaning out towards the street unlike the others that line the block. An independent contractor hired by the city came and heavily cut a lot of dead and live limbs off making it side-heavy in the leaning direction, a threat to fall over into the street. Roots have pushed up bricks and are now pushing under and buckling a retaining wall in front of our house which will damage it to a point of toppling . The sidewalk issue has been reported the past 8-years to no avail in fixing this block yet unneeded cosmetic work is seen all about – just not safety issue ones like ours. The sidewalk down the entire block needs rebuilt and roots cut, shaved, or trees removed to allow for a proper fit and not a 2-foot path around them.
