犬吠和其他噪音滋扰

如果有主人以外的人士并非有意激怒了任何动物,而主人放任动物不合理地制造噪音即属违法行为,例如连续10分钟发出噪音或持续30分钟发出间歇噪音。

解决噪音问题的步骤

1.和宠物主人交谈

试着和狗主人谈谈他们的宠物的活动,以及可以采取何种措施来解决问题。有时宠物主人不知道他们的宠物的行为,特别是当他们不在家的时候。

2.将我们收集的犬吠材料寄给主人

您可以下载我们的 犬吠知会信和建议指南

(PDF, 244KB) 寄给犬只的主人。此封信函和指南旨在帮助您的邻居了解相关问题,并提供一些关于解决犬吠问题的建议。

如果对动物造成的滋扰与家畜(鸡、公鸡等)有关,请联系Multnomah县传病媒介控制部 (Multnomah County Vector Control Vector Control)

3.尝试社区调解

社区调解是另一种解决方法。和第三方一起坐下来谈谈这些问题。
 
Portland居民可联系Resolutions Northwest。  如需获取Fairview、Gresham、Troutdale、Wood Village和East Multnomah县的冲突调解服务,请联系East Metro mediation

4.最后一个办法:提交正式投诉

如果前面的方法失败或不可用,而问题仍然存在,您可以填写动物自扰投诉表

发起正式投诉。(PDF, 166KB)

 
表格内容必须包括违规的日期和时间,并且遵循指导方针的要求,即犬吠声持续重复了10分钟或间歇性持续了至少30分钟。 (针对其他非犬类噪音的要求相同。)

此表格必须

  • 至少由另外两名邻居签名(总共三人)
  • 或者,如果只有一个人签名,则必须附有当日涉嫌违规行为的录音或录像。此录音或录像内容必须满足上述违规行为的规定。

如果无法提供确切记录的日期和时间以证实违规,则Multnomah县动物服务中心将不会受理投诉。

在您填好动物滋扰投诉表之后

  • 请将其带往1700 W Historic Columbia River Highway in Troutdale交给我们。
  • 或者,您可以将其邮寄至:Multnomah County Animal Services,收件人:法律援助官,1700 W Historic Columbia River Hwy, Troutdale, OR 97060
