Pigeon Droppings or Odor Complaint

The City accepts reports of unsanitary conditions caused by pigeons, including odor and excessive droppings on window ledges, sidewalks and exteriors of commercial and residential properties. Complaints about pigeon droppings from street lamps, telephone or utility poles, overpasses, bridges, at transportation facilities, and in public parks are not accepted.

It is not illegal to feed pigeons, but you may receive a violation for failing to clean up unsanitary conditions that result from this activity.

The City requires property owners to clean up unsanitary pigeon conditions on or originating from their property. You must provide the name and full address of the property owner for the City to take action.
