The disturbing of any neighborhood or persons by any such animal is declared to be a nuisance, and no person shall suffer or permit any such nuisance to exist.

   (B)   In addition to the general restrictions of division (A) above, for the purpose of this section, an owner or keeper is in violation of this section if he or she permits a dog to bark in a substantially continuous manner between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. for a period of more than 15 minutes, or who allows such animal to bark, howl or cry for numerous periods of time, regardless of duration, so as to disturb the quiet of the neighborhood or of particular neighbors.

   (C)   In case any animal shall repeatedly disturb the peace or quiet of any place or neighborhood or become a nuisance as defined in this code, the Village Police Department may contact Animal Control to remove the animal for placement in the county animal pound.

   (D)   The owner may redeem the animal from the county animal pound pursuant to § 90.22 of this chapter. Failure to redeem the animal will result in its disposition pursuant to § 90.23 of this chapter.
