Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Why would they want more people seeing their stories?
Just as well. Mocker gives me douche chills anyway.
If you type in tree stump into the 311 online site it says...
"When the City removes a City tree, it records information about the stump for future removal. Stump removal depends on available funding. Currently, there is a backlog of existing tree stumps. These stumps will be incorporated in the new tree planting program. All stumps will be removed before the City plants new trees."
Mocker is making it sound like the homeowner has to do it. Technically the city does it according to this, though they all but admit there is no money for it. Though it would probably be decades before the city gets around to anything in Queens.
my parents house has been a stump for two years now. This was a new tree planted a few years ago that already died. They have been "on the list" since the day the old one died. Two years later, no new tree.
I guess queens is not in the "one million trees" plan.
The city will remove the stump but it does take about 3 to 4 years. If it was my property, I would just have it removed. If you can afford a house, you can afford to maintain it. Seriously.
This isn't private property, it's city property and you can't just dig up a stump on your own.
Notice the extensive grass expanse at the curb to the sides of the tree stump? I've always wondered why some homeowners have these grassy areas in front of their property by the curb and others do not.
My own property is concrete sidewalk from the house right up to the curb. Am I permitted to break up the concrete pavers by the curb and plant grass there? Can homeowners with grassy curb areas just pave them over with concrete? Any readers know the answer? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

You can pretty much do as you want unless someone complains. And yes Crappy, you can remove a tree or a stump. To remove a tree you need a permit. To remove the stump, you can do it yourself. I know, because I have done both.
