Central Park has a serious tree problem.
Manhattan resident Heleyn Frumin is the latest person to sue the city and the Central Park Conservancy over falling timber.
Frumin, 64, was strolling through the park between West 75th and West 74th streets about 80 feet from West Drive in July when she was “struck and violently precipitated to the ground by a falling tee limb,” according to her new Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
“She was just walking by and all of a sudden, she heard a crack and a branch fell down on top of her,” Frumin’s attorney, Nicholas Dell’Anno, told The Post.
“And it pinned her down,” he said, adding she was rescued by paramedics.
The East 94th Street resident suffered serious injuries to her head, neck, left hip, left elbow, right knee and right foot, according to the court papers. She also fractured her rib cage.
Frumin is suing for an unspecified sum, blaming the city and the conservancy for “failing to maintain the subject tree in a reasonably safe condition.”
The suit says the limb was decaying or diseased. It fell from at least 40 feet up.
A Central Park Conservancy spokesman declined to comment on the pending litigation. A rep from the city’s Law Department said, “We will review the complaint.”
Earlier this month, a mom and her three children were hit by an elm tree on West Drive near West 62nd Street. The mother, who had an infant strapped to her chest at the time, was knocked unconscious for a few minutes. The family was treated at an area hospital for serious injuries.
In 2013, Google engineer Sasha Blair-Goldensohn won a $11.5 million settlement from the city after a falling branch partially severed his spine.
The fact that these incidents continue to occur “seems to be indicative of some sort of failure on the part of the city and or the Central Park Conservancy to monitor these trees for signs of wear and tear and to properly prune and maintain them,” Dell’Anno said.
The conservancy is a private not-for-profit that provides 75 percent of Central Park’s annual budget.
