Chapter 9-1-4 of the Village Health Code classifies diseased or dead ash trees on private property a PUBLIC NUISANCE requiring property owners to promptly abate the nuisance. DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION as a dead or diseased tree is constructive notice of such a hazard. If your tree is dying, the branches will become weak and will eventually fall in severe storms or just naturally over time. There is a safety and financial liability onus on you as a tree owner that could become expensive should disaster strike. All ash tree owners have a responsibility to their neighbors and community to remove or treat their infested ash trees to prevent damage to both private and public property including overhead utilities or injury or death to individuals. emeraldashborer.info/files/E-2940.pdf
