My neighbor has a 20 foot long tree limb hanging 30 feet up in his tree. It is over our quiet street where residence walk daily to the park situated @ the end of the lane.
I have notified him and the tree still lurks there. Resting on a larger branch which has supported it since it broke off and fell to its current resting place during a rain storm a few weeks back.
Is the neighbor duly notified or should I niffy the local authorities as he is not interested in the safety of the neighbors?

Thanks.

I don't know that he's not interested in the safety of the neighbors. Maybe he doesn't see it to be a danger. Maybe he doesn't have the funds to remove it.

Contact your local municipality - if it overhangs the sidewalk they can remove it.

The residents appear to think it's a problem. They would be smart to avoid it by crossing the street or doing whatever it takes to avoid walking under it.

You can always write the neighbor a letter, asking that it be removed, putting the neighbor on notice that it's a hazard.

Yes, if it is over the sidewalk or street, merely call the city and they should remove it.

If the broken limb were to fall on an unsuspecting pedestrian or passing car, the owner would probably be liable for the resulting injury &/ or damages. People who know about it, like OP, have a duty to avoid it, But I don't think that OP can make the owner do something before that happens.

I wasn't suggesting that the OP demand that it be trimmed - an explanation of the danger puts the owner on notice. Of course, as you said, the people who know the danger have a duty to avoid it.
