So, TC, you have an absentee landlord that you knew was such before you approached him on this subject, yet, you go for broke and get the response you should have expected. Now you have three choices:
1). Live with it
2). Tell him you will pay to have it trimmed and see if he agrees to allow trimming
3). Continue to post on CD, which will not change the tree swaying and your losing sleep over it.
411 the tree falls on you. or your house your insurance will have to pay. sounds like you like to break chops and the neighbor aint gonna let you bully him into cutting down a healthy tree.
I thought you were talking about an oak tree 3 feet in diameter, that tree looks healthy and would not do much damage in any case because it's close to the house. Go ride around Garden City, Merrick or Brookville and look at the oak trees, then imagine that people took down every health tree that "could" fall on a house. Enjoy the shade and stop worrying.
Send him a certified letter each year stating the tree is a safety concern. It will no longer be deemed an "act of god" should it fall and cause injury - he will be liable
