A tree grows in …uh, the Bronx. But hardly in ideal conditions

Somebody call Treebeard, because some people need their heads banged together.

A property-line dispute between a builder and a lifelong Bronx resident is in an architectural stalemate – with a live tree right in the middle of a cinder-block wall of a new house.

…The city building code doesn’t actually prohibit anyone from building a wall with a tree in the middle of it, but live trees inside buildings require special construction, said Buildings Department spokeswoman Ilyse Fink.

“The plans do not call for a tree in the wall,” Fink said. “We’re going to send somebody out to look at this.”
