This man in my apt complex is very aggressive with me and my neighbors he has threatened to kill me and my dog, he has maced a neighbors dog; he continues to follow and harass us when ever we are out to walk our pets. We have made police reports but nothing has been done to stop him...HELP
If any of you have video capability on your wireless devices, ask a few of your companion walkers to video the others, the scenery, and just casually turn to videoing the troublemaker, especially when he's harassing others.
Police should at least be investigating. There may not be sufficient evidence to bring charges, but he could be warned. However, at least in my state, animal cruelty agencies can bring charges on their own.
I think the idea of checking landlord or condo unit management's obligations is a good one. Get the power of a legal entity on your side.
If the apartment is a rental, the landlord would have more obligation (and clout) as it still maintains legal control over the buildings and units. If this is a condo complex, the residents individually have a higher level to comply b/c in part when purchasing a condo, they take title subject to the existing By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation of the condo association.
Dorianne offers good insight on this situation and raised issues I hadn't thought of. So I'm kind of "tag teaming" on her suggestions.
It's been more than a few decades since I've had any legal experience with condos, but my recollection is that there's also a reciprocal agreement providing for issues such as common areas, maintenance of same, restrictions, etc. The HOA usually has a Board consisting of residents which monitor and maintain standards.
But get your documentation (such as the videos), and contact the ASPCA as well. Or, if you can, surreptitiously take the videos and e-mail them to all the local news stations, especially if the videos show this man harassing any animals. In my area, they jump on issues such as someone abusing an animal.
Just another thought - the dog which was maced - did it receive veterinary treatment? If the vet would provide a medical record of the treatment, I would also share that with ASPCA, or with the news.
If you do get a tv station involved, be prepared for "blowback". This man sounds like a stalker and aggressor. Carry a small can of hair spray with you in case he attacks any of you on your walks! Loud whistles are good as well. Maybe you need to establish a neighborhood watch corps.
