The Department of Parks and Recreations (DPR) conducts routine pruning every year on a portion of street trees in each community board.
DPR's street tree pruning schedule is available online. You can also view a map of trees that have recently been pruned or are scheduled for pruning in your area.

DPR does not accept requests for routine maintenance of street trees.
However, you can request that DPR prune a street tree if the branches are:
- Dead or damaged
- Blocking street lights, traffic signs, or signals
- Blocking a street or sidewalk
- Causing damage to property
- Hitting power or phone lines
The City is not responsible for any tree that is on private property.
If you have already submitted a tree pruning request, you can check your service request status. Weather-related events may delay tree pruning requests.
