My Neighbor's Tree is a Catastrophic Ticking Time Bomb Leaning on My House. What can I do?
my neighbor's massive, downed tree has crashed into my yard, now precariously propped up and only held from total collapse by my own healthy tree. It's a terrifying, swaying sword of Damocles over my property, and my neighbor simply refuses to act.
For months, I've exhausted every civilized avenue. I’ve repeatedly knocked on her door (to no answer), called and texted numbers she's used before, left desperate handwritten notes on her mailbox, and even sent a certified letter explicitly warning her of the imminent danger her tree poses to both our properties. After all this, silence. Absolute, chilling silence from her end, while that behemoth of a tree looms.
I've called every single public resource. The response is always the same: a bureaucratic shrug. "It's privately owned," "It's not fully on the ground yet," "You're on your own." It's infuriating!
My home, my family's safety, is quite literally hanging by a thread, dependent on my own tree's strength. Is an attorney truly my only hope to avert this potential catastrophe? I'm desperate for options beyond watching and waiting for disaster!!
