A homeowner in Brooklyn has expressed frustration regarding a city tree dropping heavy branches, posing danger to pedestrians and properties. Despite logging multiple 311 calls over two years, her requests have gone unanswered. The situation escalated when a large limb fell onto power lines, prompting community concern. Neighbors have taken cleanup efforts into their own hands. Reports indicate that while a hazardous limb was removed in April, further pruning of the tree has been deferred until at least 2028 according to city workers, leaving dangerous branches hanging.
Viveca Crawford has been sounding the alarm for over two years about a city tree that continues to drop heavy branches onto the sidewalk, the street, and power lines.
Crawford's fear intensified in April when a large limb snapped and fell onto nearby wires, sending sparks flying outside her home.
Neighbors have called 311, but Crawford says her complaints have gone unanswered, and at one point, a worker told her the tree wouldn't be pruned until at least 2028.
Several large branches remain on the ground, while others hang dangerously above the sidewalk and parked cars, just one strong gust away from another incident.
