Barking Dog Tujunga_061708

The barking nuisance continues while I am standing in my own front yard: This German Shepard dog in Tujunga barks like this every day and night when someone gets near the property with the terra cotta colored wall. This is in violation of Los Angeles Municipal Code, LAMC 53.63. This situation has existed for a year and three months. The owner promised to have the "rescued, abused dog" trained not to bark like this in THREE WEEKS in March 2007. I cannot figure out how with the internet and You Tube that the CITY OF LOS ANGELES can permit this to continue. I think the city is liable as well as the dog owner for this abomination and blight on the community of Tujunga. Quote: "It is against the law for a dog owner, or anyone in control or custody of a dog, to allow the dog to make excessive noise, after receiving a legal notice of the noise complaint and a request to make it stop. The term "excessive noise" means noise which is unreasonably annoying, disturbing, offensive, or which unreasonably interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property of one or more persons occupying property in the community or neighborhood. This law does not apply to a commercial animal establishment with a legal permit. (LAMC 53.63)" http://www.laanimalservices.com/serv_barkingdog.htm They were notified by the city to do something to control the dog with a letter dated March 28, 2008 when I also received a copy of the complaint response. The owner refuses to comply with the law.
