Post: Neighbor Harassing My Household

Posted by Sarah on 4/01/06
My neighbor has been harassing my family and pets. He doesn't like the fact that I have 4 dogs. We are very reponsible pet owners that pick up after our dogs. However, he doesn't want us walking past his house or walking on the common areas near his house. This is a bit hard to avoid since his house is connected to our house. He has followed my friend while he was walking the dogs on common ground yelling and has tried to kick our dog. He has made false accusations that we are commercially breeding our dogs (they are all spayed and neutered), that our dogs are making on his property and we aren't picking up. The health department has come to investigate and found no basis for the complaint. The animal control department has been out twice and found nothing. He has also called the code enforcement department stating that I'm doing construction in my home without a permit. They didn't even bother to come out because they could see that any construction I've done in the past, I've taken out a permit for while he has done work in his house without a permit. He claims his basis is because we reported him for a parking space violation to the association. However, it wasn't us and so his harassment doesn't stop. The other day, while we were at work, he had the animal control officer come out again and he showed him brown spots on the common areas and supposedly dog feces in my fenced (and locked) backyard. The officer told him to go to mediation to try and stop all this petty stuff but he refused to go to mediation and the officer signed a warrant that he took out against us for failure to pick up feces. Now we are going to court to try to defend ourselves from this fool. I'm afraid that he will try to harm my dogs next. What recourse do we have against this demented individual?
