Community Priority 3: Improper DIY Tree Trimming & Home Modifications

Long waits for tree maintenance can create safety risks, DIY violations, and harm to our urban forest. Unpermitted home improvements—driveways, fences, basements and additions—can also lead to fines and costly restoration.

I pushed for increased City funding for tree maintenance and faster action on hazardous trees. I have also helped residents navigate permits, inspections and home improvements, working with the City to mitigate non-compliance and prevent costly problems.

Building on 8 years of dedicated service, Isa will continue responding to residents, promoting proper tree care and educating homeowners on permits and requirements—helping create a safer, better-maintained and more enjoyable community.
