With photos showing bait blocks near sidewalks and signs declaring “no dog pee,” plus a livestream camera warning passersby, the situation has turned neighbors against each other and turned a once “magical” neighborhood into a place people are now avoiding. Authorities say the poison was misused, violating EPA rules by leaving it accessible to pets and kids, and are seeking daily fines of $7,500 for each day the violation occurred. A court has ordered the residents to remove the poison and allow investigators to inspect their property—a stark reminder that even well-meaning fixes can backfire if done illegally.
