The tenants, not the owner, of 1619 12th Street have "girdled" the mature tree in-front of the house between the sidewalk and the street by cutting a band of bark around the tree's trunk (see photo). One of the tenants complained to me about the smell and mess the of the tree's fruit. So, rather than pick up the fruit when it drops once a year, the residents have taken it upon themselves to outright kill the largest tree on the block.
