Who is responsible for overhanging or fallen vegetation?

This is not a violation of city code; therefore, the City generally would not get involved. It is recommended that you work with your neighbor to get permission to trim or maintain any overgrowth and ensure that trimming will not damage the health of the plant. Falling tree cleanup is the responsibility of the property owner. If debris crosses over between properties, you will clean everything within your boundaries. Your homeowner’s insurance would be a great resource for clarification.
