After loosing my job dues to sleep deprivation, and having to listen to neighbors dog bark all night, I FINALLY got nuisance abatement to send an ordinance violation letter. This took almost a year.
I will use "M" indicating the negligent dog owners name. M had been asked several times by other neighbors, to stop the dog's barking before I moved in, 3 houses down. Dog is outside all day and night, barks at nothing, only dog out and barking from 8pm until 4 am. 6 children in this house, never supervised, quite aggressive.
Home receives Section 8 funds, landlords are M's parents (this family has a long history of extremely questionable money dealings).
Shortly after letter was sent, someone began honking their horrible whiny horn several times between 9 and 11:30 p.m. as they passed until my bedroom window. I found this to be a similar age black woman as M, who visits M 5 to 7 evenings a week. This young woman was seen by another neighbor telling M's kids to "bark" at me.
Obviously, despite the fact there are 2 additional neighbors on the nuisance complaint, I have become "the bad guy" worthy of being harassed. I have filed 2 complaints already, however I already know our P.D. will not help me. I WANT to avoid the hassle of taking this to court, and I NEED this ridiculous childish crap to STOP. The dog still barks although much less, and the horn honking is every time she leaves that house. I wonder if it is worth my time to try and work this out with M's parents (and landlords) first, OR, start a civil suit now. I am very close to taking this into my own hands and doing something to the horn honker that could put me in jail. I cannot let myself remain passive about this much longer, as it is literally driving me up the wall.
