Other: For approximately three weeks, the tenant in Unit 6 (Jessiah) has repeatedly allowed his dog to defecate in the shared common area directly outside my unit without removing the waste. I have documented this behavior weekly and provided photos to the property manager. The issue has not been resolved. There are currently approximately 15–20 instances of dog waste in the common area. The accumulation is creating odor issues and interfering with normal use of the space. I have video documentation showing the dog defecating and the owner leaving without removal. I have spoken with the tenant previously about his dog and can confirm it belongs to him. I have also overheard him state that he does not pick up his dog’s waste. I am requesting enforcement of the city ordinance requiring pet owners to remove animal waste.
