Two things to consider. The first is that it is a poplar tree. They seem to die from the inside out. The tree can look extremely healthy with no outward signs that several of the limbs are rotting on the inside. This means that the branches could fall off in a wind storm even though it is full of green leaves. From my understanding they start to die after thirty to forty years so you may have an issue there. We cut down a ton of trees at work and poplars have a tendency to break off limbs as they start to fall. Also, I would be pretty reluctant to limb a large tree if you don't know what you are doing. Those branches can have a ton of pressure built up in them.
The other point is that if your neighbor gives you too much grief you can complain about the traffic from the day home, especially if it isn't registered. If it is, you likely signed off on their plan.
