An elderly couple is now scrambling after receiving a citation that will cost them big time.
LYNDHURST, Ohio - The problem, according to the homeowners, the damage is caused by the city’s trees.
Homeowner Mildred Windham says the roots from these city-planted trees started raising the sidewalk blocks about a year ago, but it was just last month she found out she was the one who would have to pay for it.The Windhams received a letter from the city of Lyndhurst, notifying them they had just over a month to level or replace the sidewalk blocks to eliminate trip hazards.
“At the beginning of purchasing the property, all of that should be disclosed,” said Williams. “It should be in document form and all of that. None of that was happening.” So we reached out to the city of Lyndhurst. We were told yes, these trees are owned by the city, but state law says it’s the homeowners responsibility to keep up the sidewalks.
