I am now considering legal recourse or just getting it removed and accept the consequences. But .. what are those consequences? If it’s a fine then that may be acceptable vs the current problems and the potential of loosing our home due to a storm.
Thought?

Excellent question. You are not alone. I have a shot at a home that is not on the market but the Humongous Tree is absolutely a deal breaker. It has had no professional care in 30 years and is off the hook out of control and safety is the main thing! It is magnificent to look at but I down want to check out under a tree or battle limbs and leaves all year. That is the life we left behind.
I hope things work out favorably for you.
