If you feel it is dangerous, suggest getting it cut down ASAP. If if falls and hits someone, you could be held accountable.

I have a large oak tree in front of my home in The Villages that was planted in 2004. It does overhang my neighbor’s property, and I have had my tree professionally trimmed, especially branches that overhang my roof or my neighbor’s roof. As a courtesy to my neighbor, I tell them that when a tree trimming is scheduled, the workers will have to be on their property; I inform them via email so there is a record.
At the back of my property is a huge old-growth oak tree, and the trunk is on the golf course property. I occasionally have it trimmed to remove branches overhanging my roof, dead branches, and branches so low that they interfere with mowing the grass.
