Trees 加

This long limb hangs over the street and is very low (about car height). It prevents the street cleaner from cleaning properly, and also is a threat to parked cars if it is windy if it were to snap off.

There is a tree completely blocking the cross walk signal at the intersection of Newark Ave and Grove st. This is dangerous for pedestrians.

This is a follow up to my Tree Pruning Request 14733245 on June 20, 2023. This request was acknowledged by Angelina and she advised me to contact PSE&G which I did. I finally received an answer today and here is PSE&G response (from an e-mail sent to me):

Per my field assessment at 53 Beach St, Jersey City on 9/13/23, 830AM

The high voltage 13kv primary wires are located on the other side of the street.

The pear tree in front of the home does not require maintenance for the service wire.

The PSEG service wire is below the voltage that is regulated by the BPU and OSHA.

This means any arborist or landscaper can work near this wire while trimming a tree without needing any electrical certifications or PSEG assistance.

PSEG expects owners of the trees to maintain them when they are greater than 10’ from high voltage primary conductors., but will respond in a hazardous situation such as mechanical failure.

Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Thank you,

As you can see by the PSE&G response they are not responsible for trimming the tree.

I would like to request that this tree in front of my home be trimmed by the appropriate department in Jersey City, NJ. It is quite tall and top-heavy and very much in need of a good pruning.

Tree needs to be cut back as it makes walking on the sidewalk extremely dangerous as the branches are hanging low.

Resident states there are overgrown tree branches that need to be trimmed.

Branches are low hanging and obstructing sidewalk passage.

This tree is growing into phone/ power lines

Hi,

The tree is overgrown hovering over a ton of wires (both power and telephone/internet) almost physically touching both houses (17 & 19). I’m concerned it will be a major problem during a storm and want to get ahead of it. I had PSEG come out, but they stated it wasn’t pushing on the main line so the city needed to prune instead of them.

I’m happy to have it removed, but I believe it’s a city tree as it’s on the sidewalk.

I’m hoping to have it dramatically pruned or completely removed.
