Thank you for reporting this issue to the Staten Island Borough President's Office. We will follow up on this issue until it is resolved. Please check the BPasSIst App for updates.

You can ask the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to plant a tree, free-of-charge, on the sidewalk in front of a home, apartment building, or business. Officials will inspect the location and schedule it for planting if it is appropriate for a tree.

The schedule for planting a tree depends upon the availability of trees, the number of pending requests, and the length of the tree planting season. Trees are planted in the spring and fall. It may take longer than one planting season to fulfill a request.

DPR determines the best type of tree for all curb side and park locations. You cannot request specific types of trees for a curb side or a park.

The Department of Parks and Recreation will review your request within one year. It may take up to 24 months to inspect the location for planting. To learn more about the street tree planting process, visit www.nyc.gov/parks. Please note your Service Request number for future reference.
