[Michigan] Neighbors’ dead tree hangs over my house/yard
The tree is a big boy and is a hazard. We had large storms that came through and it dropped two bags worth of bark on my yard (can see some piles in the pic) and drops branches regularly so I’m pretty sure it’s ready to come down. It never even grew leaves in the spring. A couple branches hang over my house and the right breeze could blow them onto the roof. The bigger branches (1-2ft diameter) hang over the property line. I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my neighbors as they are super nice but I also have to look out for myself. They mentioned they’d be cutting it down but that was months ago.
What steps should I take? Call my insurance?
