I have spoken with the property owner/management company, and they told me the electricity to the pole has been or will be shut off today to ensure there is no shock hazard, and the pole will be repaired Monday or Tuesday (June 4 or 5).

I thought it was against city code to cut down trees without approval first from the city even though its on your own property? The area looks worse now that trees are cut down. The tree cutters also left logs for a few day in the parking lot.

Also the tree cutters left a lot of saw dust in the parking lot too, this is a fire hazard!

The exposed wires on the light pole have been repaired. The pole may be leaning but it appears to be stable at this time. The open plate has been replaced.
I spoke with one of the property owners on Friday, and discussed the trees. The logs have been cleaned up but I took photos for our file on Friday when I visited. The owner has been made aware of the requirement for permits for removing required landscaping.

Okay thanks! I will notify the fire department about all the saw dust left behind in the parking lot.
