The director may inspect any parkway tree or plant or any tree or plant standing on any private property which overhangs or projects over or into any street, park, alley or public place of the city, to determine whether it or any part of it is in such condition as to constitute a safety hazard or an impediment to the progress or vision of anyone traveling in the street, park, alley or public place. However, nothing in this section shall authorize the director to enter private property without consent of the owner or lawful possessor of the property, unless otherwise permitted by law.
(Ord. 556 § 2 (part), 2000).
