BLOTTER BONUS: It was 45 years ago today, the pooper scooper law came into play. It was 1978…when New York State...passed a law…not to ignore…to clean up what your dog creates.

Public Safety officers are dispatched to the location without delay to investigate the complaint. Various means of detection are utilized as part of the investigation process. They are used as part of routine building sweeps as well as at specific locations where unlawful dogs are reported to be harbored. Cooperators should never confront or question persons observed to be in possession of dogs. Call Public Safety immediately and allow us to take proper action.

Once it is detected that there is an unauthorized dog within an apartment, a Co-op City Community Complaint is issued. The violation code for harboring a dog within an apartment is Code “Z” which states, “Keeping or harboring dogs or any animals deemed potentially harmful to the health and safety of others.” Violations of Code “Z” carry a fine of two hundred dollars ($200). Having a dog within a Co-op City apartment is a violation of the Riverbay lease rules and regulations which states, “No dogs or other animals of any kind shall be kept or harbored in the leased premises.”

After a Community Complaint is issued, the Cooperator Service Office (CSO) works with the Legal department to insure that the offending dog is removed from the premises. Quality-of-Life violations are taken very seriously by Riverbay Corporation. Even authorized dogs are not permitted to make excessive noise in the apartment or damage Co-op City property. With the exception of Seeing Eye dogs, owners must clean up after their dogs.
