Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City. Hudson County is home to thousands of different types of beneficial creatures, who we see as they are out and about finding food, building nests, having babies, and teaching their young to survive. Wild animals are protected under NJ State Law and we strive to live safely and cooperatively with them.

It is normal for wildlife to seek out food, water, and shelter wherever they can find it. If residents have these elements in their yard, alley, or around their home, they will attract wild animals to their doorstep. An Animal Control Officer can provide wildlife education to the neighbors to help remove these attractants.

An Animal Control Officer visited the area and provided education to residents about keeping lids securely on trash bins to avoid nuisance wildlife behavior. None of the other residents have seen wildlife but the Officer impressed upon them the importance of avoiding wildlife issues.
