Queens Tree Stump Sidewalk Danger

A group of angry homeowners in queens couldn't believe what the city was telling them. A fallen tree had caused major sidewalk damage over the summer. Crews chopped up the tree and took it away, but the stump and the destroyed sidewalk remained.

So a homeowner did what the city officials say you're supposed to do: She dialed 311 and reported the problem.

The city's answer? It would take three to five years -- yes, years -- to fix it. But then Fox 5's Arnold Diaz got involved.
