Then there are the occasional calls about birds – Mr. Clucky, the photogenic rooster
being the most famous of them. Charming or not, the city does not allow livestock to
reside in the city. And, while up to ten domestic pets are allowed per residence, no
more than four dogs at a time are allowed.
More rarely, exotic animals have also been a problem. Code enforcement has also
been called out for the occasional exotic animal, such as a free-roaming monkey
and a captive lion. And, Code Compliance teamed up with our Police Department
earlier this year on Ocean Drive with an eye to stopping people from using animals to
make money off tourists, including the guys with the pythons around their necks, and
someone with a ring-tailed lemur, among others, charging for photos with their pets.
Code Compliance officers are not trappers, however. When the occasional raccoon or
possum makes a visit to a neighborhood, residents need to call in the professionals.
