the difference between private and public trees

A street tree is any tree that has been planted along sidewalks or public spaces and is maintained by the city. These trees line most residential neighborhoods in Staten Island and, for the most part, are under protection according to city regulations. A private tree can be defined as those trees located on your property and, in most instances, are your responsibility. However, special rules apply if the trees are in close proximity to wetlands, parks, and coastal regions.

Note: The NYC Parks Department recommends that Staten Island homeowners verify if a tree is city-owned or private by consulting their title survey as a pre-requisite when planning tree work on your property to avoid issues.
