Ownership is the first hurdle, then maybe this:

From the Two Harbors paper in June:

A wildlife rehabilitator wants to see the raccoons living in an abandoned house on Ninth Avenue in Two Harbors get a good home.

After reading an article about the problem property at 815 Ninth Avenue in last week's News-Chronicle, Regina Kijak, a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources permitted wildlife rehabilitator from Two Harbors, called North Shore Wildlife Control to see what it could do to get the raccoons out of the house.

"I was afraid that people would take the matter into their own hands," Kijak said. "It sounded like a professional needed to go in and help (the neighbors)."

North Shore Wildlife Control is a pest removal business based out of Duluth. It is focused on humanely removing skunks, raccoons, and other wildlife from homes. Allen Edberg and Gary Gagnon from the business stopped by the home last Friday to see where raccoons might be getting into the house.

Using a pair of binoculars, the two said they could see footprints on the window above the front porch where the neighbor, Meghan Koss, said she watched a raccoon climb into the house. 

Edberg said there was likely to be a mother raccoon living in the home with her babies. He says it has been "crazy right now" with requests for Wildlife Control to remove raccoons from homes in Duluth and up the North Shore. 

Edberg said he is willing to offer his services free of charge to the homeowner, who lives in Duluth. Wildlife Control would trap the animals and take them to Kijak, who would rehabilitate them and release them into the wild.

But without permission from the homeowner, Edberg can't do anything. Edberg said he has attempted to contact the homeowner but telephone calls have gone unanswered.

You might talk to your insurance company about the tree if it is an imminent threat to your roof and therefore their bottom line. They may have some suggestions or avenues to get something to happen.
If it is touching any power lines, MN Power should be willing to trim it, at least get it away from the lines.

Then maybe you can trim it yourself  once the electrocution hazard is gone.

It's my understanding that you've got the right to trim/maintain anything that's growing over your property line, especially if it's causing damage.

We had racoons in the abandoned house on our block. We emailed all the city councilors, St. Louis county commissioners and the mayor. A guy showed up and live trapped them within a week. Gently make a stink, work with the man and thank everyone for being active (when they are) and you might get what you need.

Coons are nice.  Let them be.

Good idea about contacting the power company, your insurance company, and the bank that owns the house.

If it's a foreclosure, that means it is owned by some mortgage-holder somewhere that should be taking better care of their property.

I don't know how you'd track down the offending bank, but I think they are legally obligated to maintain the property.

The City seems pretty hot on ending blight and this sounds like a textbook case. If you contact them, maybe they'll do all the work for you.

Also: I agree with Swan. : D

Suggestion 1:  Give the raccoons applications to run for the school board.  That will keep them occupied.

Suggestion 2:  Give the raccoons tickets to the Twin Ports Bridge Festival.  That will get them out of your hair for Saturday.

Suggestion 3:  Wait until next weekend, capture the raccoons and sneak them onto the tall ships, then wave as they sail away!

House party!

Adam, please do something about the rear door that keeps slamming in the wind.
