Thank you for your report. Unfortunately, your pinpointed location is within a private street. Issues between private tree(s) with private property are civil matter and we are unable to assist. It is the responsibility of the landowner to maintain the trees on their land, including resolving any issues or damages the tree may cause.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
