Trees standing in or upon any public highway
or public place and on any lot adjacent to any public highway or public
place and having branches projecting into the public highway or place
shall, under the supervision of the Commissioner of the Department
of Public Works, be kept trimmed by the owner or owners, occupant
or occupants of the property on or in front of which such trees are
growing so that the lowest branches shall not be less than a maximum
of 15 feet or a minimum of nine feet from the ground. Said Commissioner,
however, may allow newly planted trees to remain untrimmed, provided
that they do not interfere with persons using the sidewalk or obstruct
the light of any street, electric or other type of light. In case
the owner or owners, occupant or occupants shall neglect or refuse
to trim such tree or trees on being notified in writing to do so by
the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works, it shall be the
duty of said manager, after one week from the date of such written
notice, to cause the trimming to be done and the cost therefor to
be collected from such owner or occupant.
