Resident Bridal Hood told the council she has suffered three years of repeated nighttime and daytime barking from a neighbor’s dog, said landlord and police responses were ineffective, and asked the city for faster enforcement or a daytime noise ordinance. Kate Mulford backed Hood, saying she works from home and has had to wear AirPods because the dog barks day and night; both said they had made multiple calls to police and city staff and asked what the city can do beyond current responses. Council/staff said they expect staff to discuss the matter the next morning.
