NJ Man Fined $13,000 for Cutting Down Neighbor’s Trees “For Better View of NYC” risks $1 Million Cost!
CNS News– In the affluent enclave of Kinnelon, New Jersey, a dispute between neighbors has sparked legal action and garnered widespread attention. The focal point of this controversy? A series of trees ruthlessly felled by one resident in pursuit of an unobstructed view of the iconic New York City skyline.
Grant Haber, a security executive, found himself embroiled in a legal battle after he commissioned the unauthorized removal of trees on his neighbor’s property, purportedly to enhance his scenic vista. Last March, Haber enlisted the services of a contractor to axe 32 mature trees without obtaining the requisite permits, triggering outrage and condemnation from the local community.
Following an investigation, Haber reached a plea deal that resulted in a $13,000 fine for the unlawful removal of 18 trees, sparing him from a steeper penalty of $32,000 plus a trespassing charge. However, the financial repercussions may extend far beyond the initial fine, as local prosecutors estimate the damages incurred by Haber’s actions could exceed $1 million.

Despite his attempts to evade accountability, Haber’s actions have left a lasting impact on his neighbor and the wider community. The deliberate destruction of trees not only diminishes the natural landscape but also undermines the rights of property owners to enjoy their land free from interference.
In the aftermath of the incident, tensions remain palpable, with the aggrieved neighbor expressing lingering dissatisfaction despite the passage of time. While Haber may have relocated from Kinnelon, the repercussions of his actions continue to reverberate, serving as a cautionary tale of the consequences of environmental vandalism and disregard for communal harmony.
