It was during that visit that Greer said the situation became unacceptable.

“That’s when he told me, ‘We aren’t done,’ ” said Greer. “He said he had other issues. And keep in mind, this was said during the post-inspection for the tree. I asked what the issues were, and he said he forgot his list.”

Among the issues that were cited to Greer were that his house was not painted sufficiently to “city standards,” and that there were children’s toys in the yard.
