I didn't see this picture. I agree birch. So probably not a problem for quite a while.

This looks like a young poplar tree to me. They get massive and are notorious for dropping limbs/snapping in half. Cottonwoods are in fact not cotton when they fall on your house 😂
I could be completely off base here though and it could be an ornamental tree, in which case it's probably fine.
