[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  I have plenty of trees, as they have a purpose in the world (unlike snarky PP) - however, none happen to be big.  We pay for our own tree issues, as if it is any of your business.

OP, suck it up and pay for your own tree issues.  No one owes you anything.  Ever. [/quote]

OP can't cut down a tree in someone else's yard, but thank you for playing.[/quote]

NP.  We recently had a conversation with the code enforcement officer of our city regarding a similar situation.  The tree was on the property line and we were unsure legally to whose home ownership of it was assigned-- apparently the city keeps records and we could look it up.  The tree was dead and leaning against another tree, endangering our house.  (We hadn't realized sooner that it was dead because greenery from other trees obscured it.)  The officer said that if the tree belonged to our neighbors and they failed to act after we notified them, we could appeal to the city.  I can't remember his exact response, but it was either that the city would come take the tree down or give us permission to do it.  I had asked the officer that question because for [i]two years[/i] our neighbors have had another dead tree in their backyard that is leaning at a 45 degree angle toward their house, being held up only by the limb of another tree; it's rootball is even up out of the ground!  The tree would crash through the center of their roof if it came all the way down.  And they have small children.  *Shudder*

Our neighbors are immigrants with limited English, and I doubt they're aware of all the legalities involved.  We decided to just get an estimate and pay to have the tree taken down ourselves.  The neighbors were happy to give permission for the tree company to access their property once they realized that they weren't going to be asked to pay for it.
