During the pandemic, the pet waste problem at the Villas has become untenable. At the most recent board business meeting, under the landscape report, directors again considered DNA testing of all dogs to identify uncooperative pet owners and to alleviate this problem. This DNA program has been very successful in other communities with costs being passed on to pet owners only. In a virus surge, the Board, however, is reticent to take on a complex new project. Years ago, a Board installed pet bag stations; the effort was totally unsuccessful and very expensive with costs shared by all owners even those without pets; this approach will not be considered again.
So, we ask for resident cooperation. Our landscape crew has an extremely unpleasant task to garden in and around feces. Pet waste brings down property values. It is unsanitary and contributes to storm drain pollution. We encourage residents to report incidents to the guard with time, dog description, and other details. (310) 457-3217. You will not be identified if a fine is issued.
