This tree is frightening to drive under. Needs to be removed.

Greetings. The Town of Hamden Public Works Department has received your submission and is looking into the reported issue. Please remain patient as our personnel work to resolve your issue. We will notify you when your submission has been resolved. Thank you.

The tree is leaning quite precariously and I’m surprised it didn’t come down yesterday it needs to go.

The reported issue has been resolved and is now closed. Thank you for your submission.

I do not see any evidence that there was any work done to correct the problem. The reply does not indicate the result of the inspection, or if any further action will be taken.

Hello anonymous,

The last posted comment from our town's Superintendent of Trees is a canned message used when closing requests to have trees trimmed or removed.

All tree requests submitted prior to January 1, 2021, have been closed. More than 400 tree requests have been closed since Tuesday, August 24, 2021.

I hope this information helps.

The Superintendent of Trees / Tree Warden has received your request and will conduct an evaluation of the reported issue. Should further follow-up or action be required prior to closing, the issue will be updated accordingly.

Good morning. Which tree are you referring to? There are 3 at the address you listed.

This issue has not been resolved. In answer to your last question, the large pine tree in front was the one I originally complained about. There was damage from a storm to the one on the Plains Rd side also last year. A large branch fell on the house and a tree company came out to remove downed branches and we wanted the tree removed to prevent future damage to the house. They contacted your office and you came out and prevented us from removing the tree. You said it belonged to the town of Hamden as well as the other 2. and you would send a crew to prune them. No one has returned to work on any of the trees.
