Barking Dogs Complaints

From the Office of Fourth District Council Member Kathy Graziano;

Recently, we have been receiving complaints and questions from the Westover Hills neighborhood, especially that area west of WH Boulevard concerning constantly barking dogs.

I would like to remind all our residents that the city’s noise ordinance has the following language:

(It is a violation…) “

(2) To allow any animal or bird to create noise such that it is plainly audible at least once a minute for ten consecutive minutes (i) inside the confines of the dwelling unit, house or apartment of another or (ii) at 50 fifty or more from the animal or bird”.

I appreciate any help you can give me in spreading the word to neighbors who might not have considered how others feel about their dogs barking for long periods of time.
