HAZARD TREE ASSESSMENT
What is a hazardous tree?
A target is an area where personal injury or property damage could occur if the tree, or a portion of the tree fails.
Targets include sidewalks, walkways, roads, vehicles, structures, campsites, playgrounds or any other area where people are likely to gather.
Structurally sound and healthy trees may also be hazardous if they interfere with utilities, roadways, walkways, raise sidewalks or obstruct motorist vision.
Common hazards include dead trees, dead branches, stubs from topping cuts, broken branches (hangers), multiple leaders, tight angled crotches and an unbalanced crown.
Liability
Property owners / managers have a legal obligation to (1) periodically inspect trees for unsafe conditions, (2) correct unsafe conditions immediately upon detection or (3) contact the proper authority immediately upon detection.
