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:

It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, possess or maintain an animal in such a manner as to constitute a public nuisance.

Sec. 5-9. - Noisy animals. (Ord. No. 95-693, § 5-14, 10-12-1995)
* (a) It shall be unlawful and a nuisance for any person to keep on a residential lot or premises within the city any animal or group of animals, known to such person habitually, continuously or intermittently to make or emit sounds or noises of such volume and nature as unreasonably to interfere with or disturb the peace, quiet, comfort and repose of a person of ordinary sensibilities within the neighborhood in the reasonable use and enjoyment of adjacent property.
