Can we PLEASE get this tree taken down? It is a SERIOUS public safety issue. I hope to get this resolved without having to escalate it, however if it is not resolved soon I will be forced to provide legal notice to the City Attorney.
I DO NOT want to go that route, however I do need to protect myself from legal liability as the property owner. Several people have been suffered minor injuries already and it is only a matter of time before other, more serious, injuries will be caused by this public menace.
In advance, thank you for your willingness to address this issue promptly.
