Laws regarding (potentially) vicious dogs in apartments

That's exactly what the owners of the dog said after it put me in hospital needing reconstructive surgery to my face when I was 7.
I still have the mental and physical scars to this day.

Sometimes it is impossible to know in advance that a dog is dangerous. There is always a first bite.

The point I was making was that there is no such thing as a "friendly" dog bark, as the OP alluded to. A dog's bark is a dog's bark.

true - but (as much as people hate it) we are not talking about "homes" which would make sense. Apartments are a community environment. Simple as that, in a home, you do not share your garbage, garage, laundry, garage etc. with your neighbor. Therefore if they feel they need a dog to "protect" them in a community environment, maybe that community is not a good fit for them and they should seek a condo or house. IMHO.

honestly, it sounds like you need a new line of work if this is making you this worked up.

If i was the owner of this complex, this would alarm me

This. People somehow forget that dogs are animals, first and foremost. And the most surprising things can trigger them.
