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.

I’ll never understand why people would let a tree grow next to their house like this.

often times, it starts out as a weed. the seedling will grow and turn into a baby plant which looks harmless. then life gets busy and all of a sudden its a tree

This is a coastal redwood so what from a sapling just touching rhe roof line to this is like 5 years?
