Inaccurate Signage On BOE Properties
Village Ordinance #1689 is the Village’s “pooper scooper” law. It does not ban dogs from school grounds, regardless of what these signs indicate.
“Added 9-26-1978 by Ord. No. 1689; amended 8-14-1984 by Ord. No. 1946; 12-14-2005 by Ord. No. 2964]
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish requirements for the proper disposal of pet solid waste in the Village of Ridgewood, so as to protect public health, safety and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for failure to comply.
C.
Requirement for disposal. All pet owners and keepers are required to immediately and properly dispose of their pet’s solid waste deposited on any property; public or private, not owned or possessed by that person.”
Therefore, you may walk your dog on school grounds without fear of being cited for violation of Ordinance #1689, so long as you immediately pick up after your dog if he/she defecates.
