It happened on the 1400 block of North 27th Street around 11 a.m.
Neighbors said concerns about the tree began last summer, after a portion of it fell and caused major damage.
"In June or July of last year, the tree that fell down, part of the tree branch fell onto my car and totaled it," said Lauren Dyenetti, who lives on the block.
Jackie Ray, who lives next door to the home that was directly hit by the fallen tree, said she has repeatedly contacted the city about the issue.
"I have been calling 311, Parks and Recreation, and so have my other neighbors about getting these trees trimmed," Ray said.
Officials shut down power along the block as a precaution following the collapse.
Myles Drayton, whose home was among those affected, said residents had tried for months to get action taken.
"I've been trying to do stuff about it. Like sending emails, going to other offices directly, trying 311 complaints. A lot of my neighbors have done 311 complaints, and really nothing's been done," Drayton said.
Action News tried reaching out to city officials regarding those reported previous complaints about the tree, but so far, we have not heard back.
