Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of parks, recreation and historic preservation to cut down trees in a timely manner
AI Summary
This bill requires the New York City Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to respond to tree service requests more quickly and efficiently. Specifically, when the department receives a tree service request through either the 311 citizen service center (a citywide request hotline) or the department's official webpage, they must complete the requested tree service within two weeks of receiving the initial request. The bill amends the existing administrative code by replacing language about online tree maintenance information with this new time-sensitive service requirement. By establishing a clear two-week deadline for addressing tree service requests, the bill aims to improve the city's responsiveness to residents' concerns about street tree maintenance and ensure timely action when trees need attention or removal.
