Typically the city will only come if the tree is dangerous to the public or to property, and even they you are hard-pressed to get action. I had a 30' maple 3 feet from the sidewalk in Sandy Hill, that got severely damaged during the ice storm and subsequently beaten up by summer storms the following year and it took several calls to even get on the list of trees to visit - which is very long BTW.
