THE TREE SHOWS NO FOLIAGE OR SIGNS OF ACTIVE GROWTH, INDICATING IT IS NO LONGER VIABLE. . MULTIPLE BRANCHES ARE DRY, BRITTLE, AND HAVE ALREADY SNAPPED, WITH SECTIONS VISIBLY BROKEN. . THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS LEANING AND UNSTABLE, WITH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION OVERHANGING THE PAVEMENT AND BOUNDARY WALL. GIVEN THE ABOVE, I INTEND TO PROCEED WITH ITS REMOVAL.
