60. I can hear the frustration in your words TTW and

can't say that I blame you. Not one bit, based on what you have written.
Holy crap, you have something called township lawn maintenance police!?! Sounds almost big-brother-ish.

All joking aside (sorry) I suppose it might not be a bad idea, (I guess) depending on what kind of neighborhood you live in. But in your situation, it does not sound as if whatever ordinances these guys are supposed to enforce are being fairly applied.

Either that, or the regulations as written, fail to codify as strict (or any) such standards to people's back yards. So if I'm reading your post correctly, they are being ridiculously tough about some very minor front yard things, while ignoring issues so awful as to be possible health hazards.

Just a suggestion, (since I have no idea how things work in your area) -but- Is there some other direction you and your other neighbors can take regarding what to do about lazy dog poo neighbor? Maybe there is some sort of township level health/environmental control agency you can contact?

I don't know. Just more or less thinking out loud here, motivated by the fact that the whole thing seems so unfair... not only to you and your other neighbors, but also the little girl involved. Well that, and just because of how helpful your advice was to me when I lost my dog in January. I wish I could reciprocate with better idea(s) but know very little about suburban township level governance. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with this whole situation.

Oh, and thanks for shedding some light on why the poor woman in the OP may be going through her own ordeal. Not that I agree with it- at all ... But I now better understand why the city of Tulsa might have thought they could (and may still) get away w/such BS.
