Neighbor has three large boxer dogs that are allowed to run loose for "exercise" daily, and usually for a period after dark. Complaintant is 78 and wife is 74, both are handicapped. Dogs are making a mess of their yard, and they can't go out after dark. They've lived there forty years, and feel they deserve better.
There is a skunk outside of the property that they would like removed. She has called Animal Control twice and was unable to reach a staff member.
McDonald called BPD at 3:30 a.m. re barking dog & was told BPD does not respond to this type noise complaint and that he should confront owner of dog. McDonald felt that confronting owner at 3:30 a.m. would possibly create a dangerous situation and in addition, BPD should change policy to respond to this type noise situation same as if it was a loud stereo. (FYI - A.C. officers will contact McDonald re filing affadavit about noise nuisance.)

Ms. Cunningham called with a concern about a raccoon in the Gentry Quarters dumpster and how she had been treated by Animal Control. She called the landlord, Health Dept, and Animal Control and was given the runaround at all 3 about the raccoon. She claims to have been told by Animal Control that "we're closed today and don't have anyone to help you." She's expressed concerns that the landlord leaves the JB's Disposal dumpster lid open, inviting in the raccoon, and HAND hasn't been helpful with the tenant-landlord complaint. She was quite frustrated -- not only to not get answers to her questions, or help with the raccoon, but to feel like she'd been brushed off and given the run around by so many departments. As soon as I hung up with Ms. Cunningham, I took a second call from another Gentry Quarters resident with concerns about the raccoon. Is Animal Control available to assist with the raccoon? Thanks for your help.

Residents do not clean up after their big dog. The neighbors are complaining about the stench. They also sometimes let the dog go into other peoples yard and do not clean up after it.
Robert Jones lives at this address, he has 2 boxer dogs. One (brown) is vicious. Dogs bark from 7AM to 1AM. He works at Crane. They can't mow or weed along fence because dogs attack.
The woman at this address has a dog that has been running loose and leaving excrement on the neighbors' properties. Several complaints have been filed since the first incident on Thanksgiving, but the woman still refuses to put her dog on a leash. Woodlands Winding Brook has a By Law that requires dogs to be on leashes. According to the constituent who reported this, several other incidents related to this dog and dog-owner have already occurred. I would suggest getting into contact with them for the entire story. Constituent would like to be notified when this matter has been resolved, and would like it to be resolved as soon as possible.
