Broken limb hanging from tree and is rubbing up against vehicles.

This tree has 3 limbs that are absolutely dead. One is over the street and 2 are over the side walk. I am afraid a wet snowfall will damage vehicles or injure pedestrians. This is the 3rd time I have written about this tree. I do not want to be responsible if something bad happens. I know you are very busy but I have heard nothing back about this issue. Our tree person tells us that we cannot remove any limbs because this is the city’s tree. Please advise.

This diseased Ash tree has a branch overhanging my main electric line.
Other parts of the tree are already dead. It is dying from the blight that has impacted many Ash trees in this neighborhood. It needs to be taken down before it brings down my electric service.
Thank you!

The majority of the ash trees in the parking lot of Barnard School are dead - most likely due to ash borers, and now have these “witches brooms” shoots growing from the bottom. The trees appear to be unsafe and potentially hazardous by harboring invasive species in them.
