Answered for Westfield, Hamilton County.
Still active. It's why mature American elms are rare here now, and why the ones that survive are worth protecting. In Westfield, overwhelmingly young planted stock rather than inherited woodland, with ash removed from the picture by emerald ash borer. If the 18-foot mature-height limit in §92.02 stands as written, Westfield's tree lawns are effectively limited to small ornamentals — no future large shade canopy over the street by design — but that section could not be independently verified and should be confirmed before it is relied on. A rapid one-season decline usually means removal.

Flagging — one branch yellows and wilts while the rest looks fine — then rapid decline through the crown.
A rapid one-season decline usually means removal. Fungicide injection can protect a high-value elm that isn't yet infected, but it does not rescue one that is well along.
Preventive injection every two to three years, before symptoms.
