The North Arlington Health Department would like to remind residents who are dog owners to curb their pets and clean up after them according to Board of health Ordinance #3-74, Section 2, and Ordinance #13-75-80 stating enforcement by summons for any violations:

“No person owning, harboring, keeping, or in charge of any dog shall cause, suffer, or allow such dog to soil, defile, defecate on, or commit any nuisance on any common thoroughfare, sidewalk, passageway, bypath, play area, park, or any place where people congregate or walk, or upon any public property whatsoever, or upon any private property without the permission of the owner of said property. The restriction in this section shall not apply to that portion of the street lying between the curb lines, which shall be used to curb such dog under the following conditions:

“The person who so curbs such dog shall immediately remove all feces deposited by such dog by any sanitary method approved by the local health authority.

“The feces removed from the aforementioned designated area shall be disposed of by the person owning, harboring, keeping, or in charge of any dog curbed in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance, in a sanitary manner approved by the local health authority.”
