Even without a sidewalk, I wonder if it's not a city easement- and therefore city property- just like the space from sidewalk to street would be if there was one.
Doesn't the city property typically extend 8-10 feet from curb?
An easement is not public or city property. The easement belongs to the homeowner and he is responsible for its maintainence. The easement is simply the government's reserved right to run utilities in that space. He can plant whatever he wants, but if the city needs to dig it up they can.
