How long can I leave there's a tree on my roof before it becomes dangerous?
Answered for Indianapolis, Marion County.
Your roof is now carrying a load it was never engineered for, and the tree has become part of the building's load path — in many cases it is the only thing holding damaged framing in position. That is why the removal has to be sequenced rather than just cut off. Separately, the interior damage keeps advancing from water long after the tree stops moving. In Indianapolis — Irvington, Broad Ripple and Meridian-Kessler included, that's normally a emergency tree service job at $500–$3,500. Call tonight.
Why this comes up in Indianapolis
AES Indiana, formerly Indianapolis Power & Light. Its published line-clearance program works on an eight-year cycle, and AES removes debris after routine scheduled trimming but does NOT clear debris left by emergency or hazard-limb work. AES participates in Tree Line USA.
Indianapolis's canopy
In Indiana DNR's 2008 statewide i-Tree STRATUM sample inventory, silver maple was the most common street tree in Indianapolis at 14.0% of 119,036 inventoried street trees, followed by sugar maple 6.0%, hackberry 5.1%, apple 4.9% and white ash 4.9% — that ash share is a pre-EAB-collapse figure and is effectively gone since emerald ash borer was confirmed in Indiana on April 21, 2004. The big silver maples over the 1920s-50s streets are the recurring job: included bark, codominant leaders and brittle wood that sheds limbs in every wind event.

Marion County rules
No permit is required to remove a tree standing entirely on private property in Indianapolis/Marion County. What is regulated is the right-of-way: a Flora Permit, administered by the Department of Code Enforcement (1200 Madison Ave, Suite 100; permit numbers carry an FLR prefix), is required for planting, pruning, removal including the stump, chemical application, or invasive-removal work in the public right-of-way. Pruning applications must name a certified arborist and certification number, and crown reduction is granted only to mitigate an existing moderate-to-severe physical conflict with a structure or utility.
