If the owner of this building removed the healthy tree & poured cement then the owner should be Heavily Fined and made to pay for replacement of trees !!! This City needs more trees to help Clean the Air !!

Forestry assigned this issue to Code Compliance Director - Joe Barrow

Unbelievable!!

Code Compliance Housing unit Supervisor - Fausto assigned this issue to Code Compliance Inspector - Jeff

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City. An Inspector/Investigator from the Office of Code Compliance has investigated your complaint and found No cause for action at this time. Tree removed over a year ago due to a car accident.

At the very least, the tree and tree well should be replaced. I don’t think this is asking for anything out of the ordinary.
We can’t afford to go backwards in our neighborhood.
This should be referred to forestry to get a replacement tree ASAP.

TOTALLY AGREE !!

According to Jersey City's Tree Ordinance, the owners are required to replace the tree.

Code Compliance Inspector - Jeff assigned this issue to Forestry

Please contact the division of sustainability for a replacement tree. https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/infrastructure/division_of_sustainability

Then that owners should be made to replace the tree by the City and they should also be Fined for NOT replacing it !!!
This City Needs More Trees 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

This issue was reported in May 2023 --- A Tree should have been replaced by now !!!!

Melanie,

Contact the division of sustainability with your concern.

Thank you.

If the tree was removed due to a car accident that’s one thing but they poured concrete over the tree pit so that no tree can be planted again. They need to be fined it’s against the law

Exactly. !!!!!

Why isn't the City going after these Owners and making them Pay & Replace the tree. ???

And it's not my job to contact the Division of Sustainably --- it's the Division of Forestry 's job !

Sustainability is aware of this issue; I gave you their information in case you wanted an update or needed more information. No need for the hostility.

I didn't mean to be hostile Angelina - I apologize if that's the way I made it sound --- but you also made it sound like it was my job to contact them -- you should have worded your response differently by letting me know that the Dept. of Sustainably was made aware of the problem and they are working on it ! Thank you for you help and once again I do apologize !
