Hey everyone,
Although I am continuing my home search I have a problem with the home I already own in Jersey City. Although I live in such a urban area we keep spotting a racoon in the back yard. The problem I think stems from next door neighbor's unkept, very cluttered and messy backyard.
Is there a law in Jersey City that the backyard be kept in non-hazardous condition? How can I report such a thing anonymously?
When I lived in So Jersey, I LOVED the raccoons...they were fun people
Some of them have rabies. Also, they can get into a fight with your cat or dog, especially if they have babies nearby. Kill your cat and mess up the dog as they have sharp nails and sharp teeth.
I don't think junk attracts them, food does. Do they have uncovered trash cans? We had one last year in OC, where I have never seen them before, discovered munching away in our dumpster one night! It isn't even a grassy area but a concrete parking lot!
They also seem to like building nests in chimneys. At least we had a family over here in No Brunswick a few years ago that had to be evicted. Maybe it's the warmth that attracted them?

Call the city and report possible code violations.

Racoons go everywhere; they couldn't care less if a yard is unkempt.
