Stupid. Completely void of finesse. Putting an old ticket on the windshield is asking to be re-ticketed and ups the risk of being towed. Saving a few parking dollars is hardly worth the price you'll have to cough up to pay all outstanding tickets, towing, and storage fees to retrieve an impounded car once you pay a taxi or Uber to dump you at the impound lot.

If I'm reading ME law correctly, your landlord is supposed to supply you with the actual test results which would serve as a baseline for you now. Someone in your local gov't has the answers you need—health inspector? building code people? You could start with your town clerk to find out who to contact. You can also search for a tenant's rights association in your location that can help.

Test your water yourself. It's not very expensive. The results will direct your to next steps. There's got to be some sort of town gov't inspectional services you can call for help too.

If you notified your neighbor via registered letter (or have some other means that documents their receipt of the 'notice' you sent like a text or email) that the tree was unhealthy, you may be able to have your insurance company subrogate (go after their insurance company). It will be especially helpful if you have photos of the tree before and after the damage was incurred. If the neighbor claims to have no idea the tree was failing, they will likely claim it was an 'act of God" and have no liability for damages to your property. Get as many close-up photos of the tree possible showing the rot and all the damage it caused.
