the town is basically nuts with the wrong people elected over and over. we have so many rules now it makes your head spin. I've been told to keep going the approved way to avoid them sending out garbage inspectors and recycling inspectors, and building inspectors that will give me no end of grief and summons papers.
its just amazing red tape.
I've never done any work to the house i bought it as is the last people that owned it had everything done.
basically they planted a bush that was actually a tree which shot up from 10 feet tall when i moved in to over 50 feet now its its very close to my foundation as well. apparently people knew this new GREEN CITY rule was being passed in 2005 and everyone got the heck out of town. lucky me, i find out this week if i can finally get rid of 'my' tree. This is the only tree on my property which apparently pissed off some yahoo at city hall because they want all properties to have at least one tree on it. I'll be so happy if this tree falls over.
i have bushes i will be getting rid of as well thankfully they fall under the under 8" diameter rule and i can chop them down.
In the mean time i have neighbors with trees so rotted that the long Island lighting company is suing my town to get them chopped down to prevent power outages in a storm. Like i said I've had close calls with 2 other trees as well, just inches from taking out structure and one of my vehicles.
I hope a tree does fall on somebody maybe then the law will be rescinded
i hate new york.
