CA Codes (shc:22060-22062)

22060.  The board may remove any tree or any part thereof which
appears to be dead, is liable to fall, is dangerous or is an
obstruction to public travel, whether or not the tree is on any
private property and overhangs or projects into any street or is in
any street, park, parkway or other public grounds of the city.




22061.  Except in the case of manifest public danger and immediate
necessity, no such tree shall be wholly cut down or removed unless 10
days' notice in writing is given to the owner, tenant, or occupant,
or agent of the owner, tenant or occupant of the land upon which the
tree is situate.


22062.  If the owner, tenant, occupant, or agent, within seven days
after the giving of the notice, files with the board his objections
in writing to the removal, the tree shall not be cut down or removed
unless the board gives the owner, tenant, occupant, or agent a
reasonable opportunity to be heard and shall thereafter approve in
writing the removal of the tree.
