The Forestry Division is the ultimate regulatory authority for any construction work affecting trees across the five boroughs. When you apply for a Tree Work Permit or request an on-site consultation for a sidewalk repair, you are dealing directly with this division's urban arborists and forestry inspectors. Their primary mission is to protect the city's tree canopy, making their approval and oversight mandatory for any sidewalk project located near public street trees.
