Neighbors tree appears to be splitting. To me it looks like it could give way at anytime. Thoughts and advice please.

This is gonna sound crazy but can we see the other angle?
Thats a big boy. Get an expert out to look at it.
From an amateur perspective it looks sort of fine, however it might need some trimming to reduce weight on the far side as a temporary preventative measure.
Don’t park under it. Other than that not your problem
If this tree is visibly separating at the union, that is dangerous—especially over play areas, homes, or walkways. Codominant unions are one of the most common causes of large tree failures.
Total novice here but I would try and clean out the inside of the trunk so moisture doesn’t sit there and rot the wood. Cool tree.
It’s quite mature, unless there have been large limbs shed, I don’t see the need for a removal ask
Don’t stand under it during a windstorm, true hazard is not immense. It could have split a decade ago and stabalized
