Assess Existing Tree or Stump

Description

LARGE BROKEN BRANCH HANGING OVER POWER LINES. There is a large tree at the rear of the property that has been dying and large branches keep falling off. Last winter a giant branch came down and crushed my truck. Then last month another large branch fell into the back yard just missing power lines and swing set, so we reported to you. Now another large branch has broken off and is sitting on top of another branch right over our power lines. Could fall any time. The branch is probably 30 feet long and at least a foot thick, so it would certainly tear down the power lines.

  Good afternoon, Citizen Meghan Quinn(631-664-4385) lives at 3919 Patterson Ave. There is a large tree on the side of the house overlooking the backyard on Lafayette St that is dropping very large limbs. It has already dropped a large limb that has totaled the truck of a vehicle. Ms Quinn is very concerned and states it is a danger and needs to be removed as soon as possible. There is a request#DPW000004509 in the system and it has been put on theremoval list, however Ms. Quinn would like to know when it will be removed and if possible for it to be escalated as urgent removal. She requests to please have someone give her a call regarding her concern. Thank you Casy Jones| Citizen Services Assistance Specialist Citizen Services Contact Center 730 E.
