Demo'ers: Tree? What Tree?

"watched in horror"? really, horror?

Better question, how do you buy a building from the city?

Call the Parks Dept. and Jim Brenna's office on Seventh Avenue.

forget the dumpster, what about that stroller recklessly ramming into that poor tree?

Where's the damage?? The couple of wood chips on the ground? Give me a break.

Thats whats happens to trees that grow in Brooklyn. Especially, those encased in cement and inches from the road.

What about the poor sewer lines, water main and sidewalk that tree's roots keep ramming into?

Whine whine whine... is that all you can do?

If you really cared about the tree, you would strap yourself to the brances with a steel chain and a deer rifle. Tell them it's your hunting perch.

There's not much damage evident from the photos... obviously the tree has a thicker skin than you.

Gimme a break.

The dumpster is actually saving the tree. For at least a couple days, the poor little tree wont have to breath the noxious fumes of at least 3 vehicles as their owners warm up their cars on these cold days.

all you losers don't realize that the few trees in the city are probably saving your lungs from cancer by sucking up all that noxious stuff. You're a bunch of dingdongs.

"forget the dumpster, what about that stroller recklessly ramming into that poor tree?"

Typical PS parent entitlement.

It irritate me who lightly the City takes this. In addition to just being damn nice looking, mature trees do a great job of shading houses and sidewalks. About 10 years ago, we had a tree in front of our house cut down. The following summer, our aparment was about 10 degrees hotter. It takes 20+ years to grow a tree like that. Some ass comes around and ruins it it faces no consequences.

I got sent to court when i wrecked a tree. Then it got dismissed because I had a awesome lawyer. Lost my job because of this. Parks dept nitwits wrote up the ticket wrong. This is a serious problem only if he knocked it down...

you could try, as somebody suggested, calling the Parks Dept. You could also say you're worried that the tree might be so compromised that it could fall down. They're MUCH more likely to show up if they're afraid it'll hit somebody and start a lawsuit.

what a nice way of welcoming yourself to the block.

Brownstoners, go to yesterday's Lefferts Hotel thread and scroll down to the very end (2/8 comment at 4:55pm). The brownstoner troll has been identified! Finally!!!

Peanut, you need to look up hyperbole in the dictionary - or stop using words you don't understand.
