Thankfully it seems that nobody was injured. There’s always people walking around the neighbor, especially in the morning walking their dogs, going to work. Very scary.

@mushmouse130 I know, I just created this Facebook group because my neighbors all report dying trees that damage property but they don’t do anything about it

Exactly. Over by me, there are 2 huge branches right on top of cars. I called 311 earlier this year, and nothing!!! I guess they're waiting for someone to get kilked!

Have you ever reported anything to the 311 app? They usually just close the service request with some BS note. The last service request said that NYC Parks performed the work necessary to correct the condition. But in reality, it was FDNY that came and removed only the tree that was in the street.

@pelham24 yes. I had a half dead tree in front of my house House reported it the City did nothing. Then one of the tree’s branch fell on one of my nephews, grazed his arm, luckily. I called 911 and I reported it and I told him I had reported this situation to the city and they did nothing. Two days later the City came and cut down the tree.
