This issue has been forwarded to the City's Codes Department, and we will update you with a case number when the investigation is opened.
Also, the crowing of a rooster is considered a noise ordinance violation, so please call the St. Petersburg Police Department when it is actively crowing. A rooster found in violation of the ordinance is considered a nuisance and must be removed from the property. Thanks, Mayor's Action Center

According the City Codes it should fall under a noise ordinance violation which would be enforced by SPPD:
Sec. 4-31. - Keeping fowl in the City
(e) Noisy fowl. Crowing roosters or other noisy fowl which violate the noise ordinance (currently section 11-53(7)) are hereby declared to be nuisances. The owner or possessor of the property on which the fowl are located are responsible for the noise created by the fowl. If the property owner or possessor has been convicted of a noise violation related to the fowl, the fowl shall be removed from the property and it is unlawful to keep fowl at the property until there is a change of ownership or possession of the property.
