Description

Hello-

My name is Greg Goodson and I am a resident of Sandy Springs. My neighbor at 7055 Hunters Branch Drive has a tree at there property that is dead, in advanced stages of decay, and is at risk of falling and hitting my home. I alerted the property owner of this issue in December of 2023 but they have yet to take action. Given the size of the tree, it poses a significant danger to life and property. I would like the city to get involved as l believe this is a nuisance as defined by the Sandy Springs Code of Ordinances. Please refer to Subpart A, chapter 34, article Il, section 34-19.

"(a) The following conditions being maintained or located on an owner's property may be declared to be nuisances when any one of them endangers the health, welfare, or good of other persons or the good order of the community: (8) All walls, trees, and buildings that may endanger persons or property;"

I hired a ISA Certified Arborist to assess the tree and can share the report if it is helpful.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
