Update from the Codes Compliance Department: In order for a Codes investigator to respond to an issue or complaint about something that cannot be legally viewed from the street, alley, or other public right-of-way, the owner of an adjacent property who can view the violation would need to call Codes directly at 727-893-7373, give their name and contact information as part of the public record for the case, and agree to allow the investigator to visit and view the issue from their property. If the reporter of this issue chooses to do so, please call Codes so that we may open a case and assign an investigator. Thank you for your post.

This CAN BE VIEWED FROM THE STREET! The pictures were taken from the street. There is no need for the owner to call Codes, as the owner is the one that has FAILED to maintain the tree in the first place.

What needs to be done before someone fines the owner for this? Does the tree need to fall on the home? Does the tree need to fall and damage someone's vehicle before anybody does anything about it?

Again, the problem tree can be seen from the street and alleyway behind the property.

The address to the main property is 5619 Manchester Street North. It's owned by Charles and Mary Crow, 2032 IOWA AVE NE, ST PETERSBURG FL 33703-3428. I suggest someone gets a hold of them to make sure this gets taken care of before real damage to property occurs by this tree!

Well, after calling Codes, it appears that this is a "civil" issue. Way to make sure the safety of St. Petersburg's residents are met!

I, Stephen Crow, will be at my property today around 5:30 to remove branch from your yard. The first I heard of the issue was last night at 8:15pm. I can be reached at 727-488-7087.

Thank you again Stephen! I really appreciate it. As stated last night, I received no assistance from our management company and had no other recourse than SCF. Thank you for your understanding, and quick call to action.

Issue resolved.
