Description
Huntsville city code enforcement page says to use this app. The house at 109 ada drive has a dog they sometimes put out in the back and when they do it barks, without ceasing, in ongoing 3 to 4 bark bursts - literally for hours without ceasing!!! I don't know what it is barking at. It can be heard inside neighboring houses and at the houses across the field from the house. It is 9pm now and it has been barking since at least 6pm. This is breaking Huntsville codes:
Defined in the Huntsville City Code:
