With how aggressive the general public is these days about anything, I'm not surprised that someone would call the city instead of just coming by to politely let their neighbour know about what's bothering them. These days, you never know how someone is going to respond. In most cases, I think people expect others to respond poorly. Common courtesy doesn't seem to exist anymore.
There should be a maximum on the number of complaints you can make. (There isn't ... but there shouldn't be.)
Maybe that would encourage the chronic complainers to only complain about actual things that matter, instead of frivolous things that just waste everyone's time (and my tax money).
After that ... a letter should arrive on city letterhead, "We are ignoring the complaint lodged by you on XXXX because you have reached the maximum allowable number of complaints. In order to conserve tax dollars, we do not investigate any complaints lodged by chronic complainers, because our experience has been that an overwhelming majority of them are frivolous. Do not bother complaining about this letter, because you have already reached the maximum allowable number of complaints, so any such complaint will also be ignored. Have a nice day."
hahaha Brilliant! :lmao:

Yep. Hate seeing people let their dogs do whatever their dogs want to do when out for a walk. It might be just piss to the dog owner, but some dogs can piss in a spot once and the grass is dead. For someone that puts effort in to having a nice lawn, it would be a big PO.
I've had one complaint from a neighbour. They asked me to my face to be careful to not snap the branches off a tree on the front yard with my trailer that I park in front of their house (I do so because the people across the street have backed in to a few cars parked in front of our place... Doesn't help the guy has MS and drives a car that is a hand full). I explained the town will come and trim back limbs that hang over the road lower than I think 13', so it's his tree that is the issue.
Situation got dealt with then and there, no feelings were hurt, and I try to not take out the limbs but that's more so I don't mess up my trailer.
Typical.

Dog pee on the exact same location brings in weeds that you never see elsewhere. My efforts of cutting lawn & removing weeds are gone to waste

In general, I took my dog out, told him to piss in my yard, they did, then they go for their walk. The problem is people take their dog out and command them to piss on someone else's lawn. The dog is on a leash and he is walking with the owner on the sidewalk or street. He doesn't piss on a lawn unless the owner let's him.
That would make sense to me. Despite, I shovel and salt the walk not because of fear of consequences (it never entered my mind before the complaint) but because it's a nice thing to do.
Like I said. Cowardly. A conjured up fear of what might happen if you approach a neighbour is no excuse for making zero attempt to resolve a problem like grown ups. Especially if the two have never met. Why are people such pu$$ies these days? However, I do agree with you Qualdoth that common courtesy seems to be lacking these days.
There is a neighboring property owned by a developer. They don't even do the bare minimum to maintain it. They are just trying to sever the tiny property into a duplex and not doing anything while they wait for a decision. They let both yards turn into jungles that are raccoon battle grounds, Weeds from there spread onto neighboring properties. Garbage accumulates in the front yard and nobody cleans it up. It's a real eye-sore. The developers can't be reached. The city can be the only recourse. It takes about 2 months from making the complaint to the city actually sending their contractor.
I tried talking to a neighbour about a problem and it was a waste of time. The big problem in Toronto is that we don't get to know each other when times are good so can't predict what reactions will be like when things go bad.
recently a group of tow truck operators moved into the area,3 tow trucks with only enough parking for 2,the street became pretty crappy because every truck leaked oil,one person on the street remarked how the back-up beeping woke him at all hours of the night,drove down the street the other day to find no parking signs all over the street,looks like the complaint system worked for the people on this street.
Most people u try talking to them nicely & they get defensive. They want to beat u up too
