I don't think so legally anyway. We had a neighbor's tree come down on top of our house during a hurricane and our insurance company told me it was our problem to get it removed and fix the damages, not the neighbors. In this case, your neighbor may be able to shift the onus onto you if they notify you in writing of the impending danger to their property but I am not a lawyer or insurance agent.
