Ridge Trees Dangerously in Need of Pruning, Some Claim
Timber!
Many of Bay Ridge’s beautiful old trees are showing signs of age — dangerously so, say some, who worry that falling branches could injure passersby or damage property.
As of July 23, 2018, 311 had recorded 408 complaints this year about tree maintenance, damaged, dead, or dying trees within Community Board 10, which encompasses Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights and CB 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann told this paper that there had been an increase in reports about damaged trees in the board area since 2016.
