Description

This tree is in the alleyway but I am confused because I found another resource that said I need city permission to get this removed. They have been shedding this weird black soot for 6 years that eat or mold anything that it touches. I need these gone before they fall on my or my neighbors fence or shed.

    Alley Trees are not maintained by the City of Richmond; no permit is necessary for the removal of alley trees.
