For the permit, it can only be considered dangerous if you have a written report from a licensed arborist, which can cost $300 or more. For healthy trees, there are limits to the number that can be removed, a replacement is required, and a minimum percentage of total trees on the property that must be kept.
I hope those jurisdictions are willing to pay up when they are sued for damages.
