Barking dog rules in Glen Cove, NY — also called nuisance dog, dog noise, or excessive barking ordinances — define when a barking dog becomes a code violation and how complaints are handled.
Chapter 196 § 196-4 treats any animal or bird noise occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. that is plainly audible at 50 feet from its origin as prima facie evidence of a noise violation.
The 50-foot 'plainly audible' standard means an officer or code enforcement officer who can hear the barking, howling or other animal noise from 50 feet away during the nighttime window can issue a citation without a sound meter. Owners are liable for animals kept on their property. Daytime barking can still be cited under the broader 'unreasonable noise' standard if it is excessive, but the 50-foot rule provides the easiest enforcement path for chronic nuisance barking overnight. Chapter 87 (Animals) provides additional dog-control authority and impoundment procedures.
Violation is enforceable under § 1-15 with fines up to $1,000 and/or 15 days per offense. Repeated complaints can trigger dangerous-dog or nuisance proceedings under Chapter 87.
