Latest version.
  • The City of Oneonta Engineering Department, with the assistance of the City Forester, shall determine if any tree or trees in the City have become a public hazard, insofar as that tree, or any portion of the tree, is in danger of falling on public property, or upon a City sidewalk or roadway. Having reached such a determination, the City Engineering Department may cause to be served upon the owner of any premises having thereon any trees a notice declaring such trees a nuisance and directing such owner to remove or trim such trees within 30 days after receipt of such notice. Such notice may be served by mailing the same to such owner at his address or by leaving the same with a person of suitable age and discretion, residing at or upon such premises, or by affixing the same upon a conspicuous part of the property.
