Why do residents receive notices to remove dead trees?

If the tree is dying and poses a threat to adjacent property or the public at large a resident may be notified by the Village to remove the threat. There is a potential risk of dead trees falling into streets or into a public park. The Village has had many situations where an infected and dying ash tree over-hangs a public sidewalk and falling branches have fallen onto walkways.
