Central Park Tree: 5 Rooms, No Fee, Great Breeze
Life is good in the trees, Bob Redman reports. He lived in a spacious five-room split-level home in the top of a towering beech tree that commanded spectacular views of the city skyline and all of Central Park - in fact it was in Central Park. Imagine what the rent would be.
He awoke one morning, alas, to the sound of Mr. Serpe, Director of Horticulture for Central Park, yelling: ''Come down! The party's over!'' Mr. Serpe had about 10 Parks Enforcement Patrol officers with him. ''There are a lot of lunatics,'' he noted. Mr. Redman came down from the tree house, and the officials huddled to decide what to do next with their captive.
''The department had been looking for this guy for eight years,'' Mr. Serpe said of Mr. Redman, 22 years old, who began building tree houses in Central Park eight years ago while a teen-ager living with his mother on West 82d Street.
Over the years, city workers would find his latest tree house and tear it down, often while Mr. Redman secretly watched from a distance and laid plans for his next structure. He built 13 in all, in Central Park between the latitudes of 79th and 86th Streets, each more lavish than the last. The final one included ladders and rope bridges - one leading to an adjacent tree - as well as benches and tables he made.
