[Adopted 12-12-1960 (Ch.
37, Part 1, of the 1992 Code)]
No person owning or having the care, custody or charge of any
dog shall allow or permit such dog, whether in the company of any
person or not, to be upon any street or public place unless such dog
shall be securely held in leash to prevent such dog from biting. Any
person owning or having the care, custody or charge of any dog which
is kept on the premises shall, unless said dog is in his or her immediate
custody, keep it securely fastened in such manner as to prevent said
dog from biting any person entering upon or leaving such premises.
Any dog found at large at any place in violation of the provisions
of this section or the provisions of Article 7 of the Agriculture
and Markets Law of the State of New York shall be seized and directed
or ordered by the Chief of Police and taken to the dog pound; and,
if not redeemed within five days thereafter, such dog shall be destroyed.
Before any dog is redeemed from such pound, the police shall
require proper and sufficient proof of ownership of said dog.
Whenever, in an action against the owner or other person having
the care, custody or control of any dog, satisfactory proof is submitted
to the court that such dog is vicious and dangerous by reason of its
having bitten or injured any person, the Judge of the court, after
the case is tried, may issue an order to the Chief of Police directing
the destruction of such dog. In compliance with such order, such dog
shall be killed at the dog pound.
Any person owning or having the care, custody or charge of any
dog, when such dog is housed or confined, shall so house and confine
such dog in a place so constructed as to prevent the barking of such
dog from disturbing the peace and quiet of the persons residing in
the surrounding neighborhood.
