事情还在进展。我把市府网站的这个解答email了他。他今早的回答如下:
市府网站的解答:What do I do if debris from myneighbour's tree has fallen on my property? Who is responsible?
The owner of the property where the treebranches/limbs fall is responsible for bringing the debris to the curb for Citycrews to remove it or contacting a private contractor for removal if the debrisis larger than 15 cm (6 inches in diameter).If there is damage to the property,please contact your insurance company.

邻居的Property Manager今早的回复: Thatinformation is from the city. The branches from your tree are larger than6" in diameter and they are still attached to the tree. I am not going toargue with you any longer. If the hazardous broken branches are not removed byMonday my instructions are to have the work done and commence legal action tocollect the costs.
再请教:我园子树上的半断枝仍然悬挂在邻居园子的上空,尚未落下,这是谁负责?
还有一个问题:私家后院的树到底是谁的财产?房主的?还是政府或国家的?谁应该为这树负责?房主对树的砍伐是有种种限制的,好像不能说树是房主的财产。
以下英文大致知道。但细节还不太清楚。这种自然灾害造成的、健康树枝的半折断、悬挂于邻园上空的现象,该谁负责?感谢!
[quote]Private property trees - pruning a neighbours tree branches overhanging onto your property
The City of Toronto does not regulate the trimming of trees on private property.
If the tree in question is dead/dying or has dead branches that could be hazardous, Urban Forestry can investigate.
Trimming a neighbour's overhanging branches:
Urban Forestry recommends that you discuss this with your neighbour.
There are three main points to remember when dealing with trees on adjacent private property:
You cannot trespass onto your neighbour's property
You cannot damage your neighbour's property (in this case a tree); and
You have the right to maintain your property in a safe condition
It is therefore best for property owners to come to an agreement between themselves with respect to trees overhanging property lines.
If you are unable to reach an agreement with your neighbour and want to determine your legal rights, you should contact a lawyer.
The act of pruning trees on neighbouring private property affects private property rights and is a civil issue between private property owners.
Where a tree on private property is protected under the provisions of the Private Tree Bylaw, pruning of the tree is permitted provided the pruning is in accordance with good arboricultural standards. Otherwise, a permit would be required to injure or destroy the tree.
A qualified tree expert should always be retained to carry out tree pruning.
Question
Can the City of Toronto recommend a tree service company who I can hire to prune or work on my trees?
