Code Enforcement Supervisor assigned this issue to PWC

Based off the location of this tree, you would need to contact the property owner. Thank you for using FayFixIt.

Are you telling me this is not a city issue with a tree right next to city street with cars passing by all day long?

Thank you for using FayFixIt. The concern was reviewed and it has been communicated that the Code Enforcement division cannot address leaning trees on their own property, up to the property line. This type of matter is considered a civil issue. Code Enforcement cannot address it at this time, but if the tree would fall down on the property, it can be addressed by Code Enforcement as a violation. If you have any further concerns, You can contact the Cumberland County Magistrate’s office at 910-475-3008 for further guidance on this matter. . At this time I am closing this ticket.

I just want to point out the leaning tree is not leaning over anyone's private property, its leaning over a city street and appears to have died. I just want it to be on record that the city of Fayetteville NC was notified.

If it isn't in the City easement which is usually 4' from the road it's the owners responsibility to have it removed at their EXPENSE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Soooooooooooooo sorry but as Paul Harvey would say AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

of course it is, but since its going to fall on city property and likley some poor sole or their car, they need to tell the owner to fix it, that's all I am saying.

I gotcha that is an issue. I would notify local Law Enforcement so the will have a log entry then the appropriate authorities can be notified.

Thanks for your concern

Unfortunately the City of Fayetteville cannot intervene in this matter. Code Enforcement, PWC, and the Parks, Recreation, & Maintenance division have reviewed this request and confirmed that the property owner will be responsible for maintaining or removing this tree. Since the tree has not fallen, the tree can be removed at the property owner's discretion.

Since this is a civil matter, Cumberland County Magistrate’s office may be able to offer guidance on pursing this at a civil level. You can contact their office at 910-475-3008 for information.
