Fallen trees from last week's storm are sparking concern for a Wakefield man and the safety of his home.
Akeele Leon, says he's lived in his home for over 30 years. He fears what could happen if the tree right out front of his house came crashing down. He also fears the wires running through the tree. ​
Leon says he's made numerous 311 complaints. He showed News 12 one of his most recent requests was closed, but never addressed.
Con Edison says those wires belong to their company. It declined to give News 12 a formal statement but says those wires don't pose a threat unless sparking. News 12 is still waiting to hear back from the city.
