dog bites building staffJan 28, 2011


We have had a recurring problem with a resident who ownes an aggressive dog. The dog has lunged and bitten already. The dog has been restricted from passenger cabs, lobby, and is required to wear a muzzle at all times. Unfortuntely there was an incident recently where the muzzle was forgotten and the dog bit a staff member. we need to get rid of the dog but how best to proceed? Any advice.

I had a similar problem in a property I managed. We documented any incident involving this particular (aggressive) dog and brought it to the management companies and board attention. The end result was the shareholder gave the dog to a relative that lives upstate.Have the management company write a letter to the shareholder informing them that you are aware of the problem and have your legal counsel look into it.You need to be pro active.
