Good morning Roberta,
Unfortunately when you entered this issue into SCF it was not categorized correctly thus we did not receive it until today. I will properly categorized this issue for you so an inspection can happen. If the wires are UI cables you should inform them of this situation as well, UNITED ILUMINATION COMPANY (UI): 1-800-722-5584 203-499-2000
If you have any additional concerns please feel free to comment to this post or call the office 203-946-8004. Thank you

Thank you for your response. I will check out the wires and if they are UI wires I will contact them as well. I am looking forward to a swift resolution to this problem. Every storm that comes I am concerned about this tree losing branches or falling into my home.

I spoke to the U I Company about trimming around the wires on the tree in front of my house and was told that effective Tuesday Sept 8 2015 the UI Company would no longer trim trees. They stated it is the homeowners responsibility. I cannot trim a tree that belongs to the city and would not seem it safe to go near all those wires. I believe the City of New Haven is responsible if not the electric company. Please take action before the winter

Please leave this issue opened as the tree still has not been trimmed. The UI will not trim it and since it is not my tree I will not touch it. This is the responsibility of the City of New Haven as it is your tree. I have spoken to my Alderman Alphonse Paolillo and he is looking into it. I am requesting again that this tree be inspected and trimmed. There is tree trimming on Upson Terrace one block over from my street but not on my street which is ridiculous. I would appreciate some action and request this item be left open until resolved. Thank you

This issue has never been addressed. The wires for electricity and cable go through the branches and the tree is quite large and old. I have asked numerous times for it to be checked to ensure it is stable. It loses branches each year and my fear is that it will one day come down on my house. Please send someone to look at and check it. It needs to be either trimmed or removed.

No one has ever come out to check out the condition of this tree. It is quite old and large and the branches do come close to the electrical wires. I am requesting this issue be kept open until such time as the condition of the tree is determined and the safety of the wires is guaranteed. I have a great fear of this tree coming down in a storm and damaging my home. Please put this on your "to do" list and check it out I have been asking for a very long time.

Thank you

I do not want this issue removed until someone comes and checks the stability of this old tree. It at the very least needs trimming and at the best should be removed. I would really appreciate some attention to this issue.

Closing out dated & resolved issues.
