Dear Jim

I and my wife are living in an apartment on the lower ground floor facing the public pavement and grass lawn.  Every morning there are pet owners walking their dogs which may poo or urinate at random.  Our strata scheme is responsible for cleaning the pavement and lawn at our strata scheme expense.

There is a particular woman dog owner who likes to bring her dog to poo and urinate in the lawn/pavement though she takes the poo with a plastic bag afterwards.  Last month our building manager issued a directive asking residents not to let their dogs to do it in the lawn or pavement as dog urine and poos breeds and attracts flies and mosquitoes which creates a health hazards to all our residents.  I therefore politely requested the woman to avoid letting her dog to poo and urinate on the lawn and pavement in front of my apartment.  However, she responded angrily and said she had the perfect legal right to do it as the pavement and lawn are council property and used  a lot of abusive and foul languages against me.

Since then, every morning between 7:30am and 8:30am, she carries her dog to the lawn in front of our apartment, then puts it down and wait for the dog until it has finished the pooing and urinating.  It become a daily routine which appears to me that this is an intentional malicious act by her to create nuisance and health hazards to adversely impact on my peaceful living conditions.  As it is apparent she does it daily to defy my advice and provoke me. This morning I could not endure anymore of her challenge and asked her not to intentionally treat the public lawn as her dog’s toilet.  She again reiterated that she had the legal right to do it and would do it again.  It appears she may  not be resident of our strata scheme.   I had taken a photo of the woman and the dog.  Could you please advise what legal avenues options could I have to stop such malicious act if

(1) she is a non resident

(2) she is a resident

Could I make a complaint

(1)our strata manager

(2) our local council

(3) engage a lawyer to sue this woman?

Please note that the lawn and pavement are COUNCIL PROPERTY.

Your good advice is much appreciated and anticipated.
