Hi everyone, seeking advice on how to formally report a neighbor.
My neighbor is a tenant (PRC student) with a German Shepherd. He rarely cleans the porch, so there is a constant stench of waste. On top of that, the dog itself smells really bad. The combination is unbearable in this heat. Even when he finally "cleans," he doesn't use any soap or disinfectant, just water, so the smell just lingers and gets worse.
We tried to have a polite conversation with him when he first moved in, mainly because we have small kids and the wall between our porches is quite low. He got aggressive and basically told us that if his dog bites, "he can pay for it."
Since he’s clearly not open to talking and the house owner we contacted doesn't seem to care, we want to go through official channels.
My questions:
Can I report this as a public nuisance for both the waste and the overall animal smell?
Just want to know the best way to get the council to actually show up and inspect. Thanks.
