In my apartment complex we have 2 neighbors that own dogs. One lady has a pomeranian that is of no disturbance, she picks up after her dog and it is never noisy, I am aware she pays extra for her dog. We have another neighbor who has a Pitbull, that is very noisy and disturbs all of the neighbors! This pitbull came in as a puppy it is now an adult, very large and is hardly ever on a leash. In addition this dog has broken off a railing and the owner leaves its poop everywhere. My mother has a crutch and this is a hazard for her, what legal action can I take? The owner is a 19 year old girl who lives with her father who ignores the neighbors complaints.

Answer:
The VERY second that you see the dog loose, call animal control AND the police. Tell the police that the dog is dangerous and you are fearful of the neighborhood kids that are at play. You need to talk to the landlord about the poop issue……you should be able to file a complaint with the Health Department if they don’t fix that issue.
