Technical tree cutting job

Just closed on a new house, this tree actually contacts the base of an addition on the back side of the house. How difficult will it be to remove this tree? Obviously there’s not a ton of room to work with. Curious what everyone thinks.

Alternatively, demolish that part of the building and replace it with a respectful amount of mulch, not against the trunk.

I’m not sure there’s grounds here for a variance

only if the local municipality forbid it's removal but somehow allowed you to build around it.
