the dog at 637 Washington doesn't stop barking and the owners seem ro think this is normal/acceptable. he's kept outside all day and barks at anything that moves. this is a quality of life issue for neighbors in this densely populated area.

A dog chained up all day and barking is neglected - animal neglect is animal cruelty. Animal cruelty is against the law. This animal also does not appear to have adequate shelter within reach from the elements. That is how it looks in this picture with the shortness of the leash and no view of any shelter in the picture. Call Animal Control and call it often until you get a response.
Officer Stephani Johnson often works alone is is kept very busy so if she does not respond immediately, please continue to call and leave her a message asking to her to call you when she is coming out; give your name and contact information so that she can follow-up with you if necessary. This is an important step to take because the authorities cannot investigate or even begin to put a stop to the cruelty unless they hear from the community.
Also - call Chris Soto, our neighborhood specialist from LCI (203-946-7731) regarding the pool.
Please keep us updated on any change in this situation. This house is in my 'back yard' also (I live on King) so we can work together on this.
