Call 311 right away. How far from the street is the tree? The true property line is usually well within your yard. The city has alot of control over these things. But for the record, Arbour companies are pretty aware of the rules and usually wont do something that is "illegal".

Edit to add that if the tree is causing any kind of foundation problems or is dying, the city is fairly lenient about cutting them down. Good luck with this one. You might want to book it home right now and intervene. I'd be super pissed if a neighbour did this. Getting a fine doesn't re-grow a tree.
