Schenectady, NY assigned this issue to General Services (MS)

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Your request has been sent to the Parks Supervisor who will investigate this matter.

With kind regards,
Parks Department

Our employees are not allowed onto private property.
When you have moved the branch to the curb, please inform us.

With kind regards,
Parks Department

I will move it to the curb right now. The tree itself is not on private property. The city planted the tree. So, I would think the city should trim and take of it since it is now growing out of control and it dropping branches. The limb will be on curb in the next 10 minutes. Thank you

The limb is on curb

Hi Anna,

Thank you for your cooperation.

I will inform the Parks Supervisor to remove the branch and make an assessment of the condition of our tree.

With kind regards,
Parks Department

No problem…..the tree was s misshapen and as you can see growing up towards the wires. Several of the branches are bent and will fall. I’d be so very grateful if it were properly tended too. Thank you again!

So, a guy just came and picked up the downed branch. Will there be any further attention given to this tree. He never looked at the tree. He picked up the branch and drove away. I appreciate that the limb was removed. However, I still think the tree needs to be trimmed and properly cared for….any thoughts on this matter? I would appreciate further input. Thank you very much. 😊

The Parks crew was instructed today to collect the fallen branch.
The tree assessment, however, will be conducted in the course of next week.

With kind regards,
Parks Department.

Ok, that’s very good to know. I thank your department for the prompt feedback and response to my questions. It is very much appreciated. I look forward to your assessment and I really hope you guys will trim the tree. You can take it down as far as I’m concerned! It’s an eyesore and pain in the butt! Thank you again!!!

Just checking in and asking when the assessment of this tree’s condition will be made by your department? Thank you for any information you might be able to share. 😊

Asking again if this tree has been looked at and when it will be trimmed? It would be helpful if it was done before leaves start budding. Please let me know. I have not gotten a response and it was to have been looked at this week. Thank you and I’ll be looking to hear back from your department. Have a good day.
