(A) Harboring. It is unlawful for any person to knowingly keep of harbor any dog which habitually barks, howls or yelps, or any cat which habitually cries or howls to the great discomfort of the peace and quiet of the neighborhood, or in such manner as to materially disturb any persons in the neighborhood who are of ordinary sensibilities. Such dogs and cats are hereby declared to be a public nuisance.
(B) Petitions of complaint. Whenever any person shall complain to the Police Department that a dog which habitually barks, howls or yelps or a cat which habitually cries or howls is being kept by any person in the city, the Police Department shall notify the owner or keeper of said dog or cat that a complaint has been received and that such owner or keeper should take whatever steps are necessary to alleviate the howling, yelping or crying.
