My property is surrounded by trees and we've had a lot of conversations with the District about them. They've actually been fairly open to conversation, but they will do anything to avoid coming out and doing work at their own cost. But go figure, they agreed to give me a permit so I could trim and remove THEIR trees at my own cost (was totally worth it).
So if it's that worrisome, might be worth getting a tree company to take a look, give you an assessement and as estimate, and take to the city to convince them the trees are a risk. Best case is they take care of it. Next option is they let you do it at your own cost. Or worst case, none of the above, but you have nothing to lose. And at least then, the city is "on notice" that if something happens in the future, they'll risk being negligent.
