If the property is in the city of SD, you might also try code compliance.
One of my tenant’s dogs had been barking and a neighbor called code compliance, who came after me, and man, they don’t f*ck around. They sent out a code compliance officer who heard the dog barking, and wrote me a letter. I had 20 days or whatever to resolve the issue. I called the office and was told that if they came out again and the issue wasn’t resolved I would be fined, and if I didn’t pay the fine they’d put a lien on the property. I asked about due process, and near as I can tell, there really isn’t any.
So if you want to strike fear in the heart of a property owner, forget the police, go to code compliance. I don’t know whether this will work in your particular case.
