Dangerous oak tree

Have you checked to see if there are any local ordinances to cite him and make him remove it?

I've read all of your answers and they all sound quite reasonable/logical.
However, to spare thousands of dollars on something that really
wouldn't be worth it - to cut part of it off, why not structurally
support the tree by cabling and bracing it? It only costs a few hundred
at the max. You guys may be surprised, but oaks are very strong,
even if they do seem a bit rotted. But do contact a professional arborist.

They did have a professional tree service confirm the trunk was rotten and structurally unsound, since then, 3-4 hurricanes have roared through the area, most likely mother nature has settled the problem for them by now.
