Unlawful to allow a dangerous tree to remain on property

(a)

It is unlawful for a property owner to allow any tree, or any part thereof, to remain on the property, that has been evaluated and deemed "dangerous," as defined in section 19-3, by the natural resources coordinator, urban forestry coordinator, or respective designee(s).

(b)

When a property owner has been issued a notice of violation for a dangerous tree under this section, and the cause of the condition rendering the tree "dangerous" is not a result of a violation of Chapter 27, Article VI, Division 4, the tree removal permit requirements set forth therein, will be waived, and the notice of violation will act as the permit.
