Residents can now report dead and hazardous trees to Neighborhood Code Compliance by calling 311.

Neighborhood Code Compliance is responsible for new regulations regarding dead and hazardous trees; the changes were made to City Code in 2017 in response to concerns about safety from neighborhood leaders. Neighborhood Code will issue a 30-day order to abate (remove) if trees are certified by an arborist to be completely dead and are in a location where they could damage property or fall into an alley or roadway.
