New York S00838 creates a dangerous dog owner alert system.

New York S00838 amends the general municipal law to establish a dangerous dog owner alert system. The law requires the clerk of each city, town, or village to provide data to the county clerk, who will maintain a web page listing the blocks where dangerous dogs are kept. This page will include links to mapping services with GPS technology for street maps and satellite imagery. The county clerk will post notifications of dangerous dog owners and their addresses on this web page. The law also mandates that dog owners notify local authorities upon a change of residence or the death of their dog.
