He had been assigned to the complaint three weeks ago. I ask him about the status of the situation and was told that since there were no dogs in the kennel it was not considered a kennel and nothing could be done until it was occupied by an animal.
What, that is ridiculous! The 10'×10' fenced in area has two sections two gates, two dog houses, along with water and food feeding containers. If I ask any ten year old what the stucture was, they would answer with dog pen i.e. kennel.
Animal control should have address this violation at the same time I reported the loose and vicious pitbulls that were being contained within the kennel.

Recently new occupants have moved into the rental property
next door (6848 Maddox Road) and yes, they had to get a dog. They keep the dog, that whines and howls because it is neglected, in the kennel located approximately 35 feet from our house which is quite annoying.
When the new occupants first moved in I contacted the property owner and informed him once again about the kennel structure being in violation of ordnance code 14-198 and needed to be removed and that I was concerned that any new tenant would repeat the previous tenants tendency's and place dogs in the kennel. He agreed and told me that he would take care of it. Just as the first time, I'm not holding my breath!

Adah, you and click fix must be out of the loop. I reported this issue directly to CC Code Enforcement via email and have received a reply from Meredith Ferrell that she was copying in Mr Gerald Riser with Community Development to help address the issue.
I would suggest that your department heads clarify who enforces what so that issues such as this are not left outstanding for 3+ years.
