For the past year now the neighbors dog/s have become a nuisance. The barking goes on all day. The neighbors don't seem to care to quiet them at any point. The barking can go on for up to 15 minutes. My roommate and I have attempted to speak to the neighbors about the excessive barking, however he responded with " if you don't like it move". Since then we notified are landlord about the situation and they made contact. The situation seem to worsen when the neighbors started coming outside and barking with the dogs. This includes very loud howling and singing from the neighbor and high pitch barking from the dog. Not only does the situation worsen, but the dog seems to be left outside the majority of the night so the barking continues from all hours of the night. Upon doing my own research, I reached out to animal control and they stated that there was nothing they could do. I reached out to police and they stated that they would give them a warning. I have called the police more than 20 times about the dog barking. I have showed the police video footage of the neighbors barking with the dogs and footage of the dogs barking. When I noticed that the police were not making the appropriate measures for the situation I reached out to the city of East Palo Alto. They mentioned to me that there is a code that can be enforced. When I reached out to the police I stated to them the code enforcement, they stated that once they give a warning if it continues there would be a ticket but they must be witnesses of the dog barking. That day came where the dog was barking in front of the police and the police chose under his discretion not to give a ticket. The police advised me to go ahead and file a complaint with code enforcement. This is my last resort to resolve this issue. It has been very frustrating to deal with this nuisances.
