Accourding to the City of San FRancisco the transfer of maintenance and responsibility will eventually be transferred over the the property owner and the city will take less an active role in the care and maintenace for most of the trees in San Francisco.
Here is an excerpt from the folling page:
SF Public Works plants and maintains street trees, issues planting and removal permits to residents, and provides emergency tree response. To report a problem with a street tree call 311 or submit a 311 service request online.
Trees are more than just beautiful additions to urban life. They are an essential component of the ecosystem, and provide enormous environmental and social benefits. They help manage storm water, lessen air pollution and sequester carbon, help save energy, increase property values, provide wildlife habitat, calm traffic, provide a more pleasant pedestrian experience, and benefit human health.
