The policy seems reasonable to me. Perhaps a bit too friendly to pet owers.

My goal is "no pets that need to leave the apartment."


That was the lease requirement when I moved to Newport, actually NO PETS AT ALL, but of course they reneged in the interest in more rentable tenants with dogs upon dogs upon dogs.


So now we have several thousand dogs...and lots of dogshit!

I know what a service dog is. I live with one. I am not interested in moving into this building but was generally curious about BSL and service dogs. I have tried to do internet research on this and didn't know if someone might actually have some knowledge on the subject.

I read about two different veterans in Colorado who had their service dogs taken away under BSL and wanted to know if NJ had any laws on the books concerning building/apt rules/BSL.

I don't think its the size but dogs that are known to be trained to be violent towards humans. They left a few off the list. Someone should move in with some newfs.

I have lived there for 2 1/2 years. The building is great, but there are some massive dogs in there. One guy has two great danes that lives in a 1 bedroom. They got loose in the building once. Some people have no brains.

It does not affect service dogs if it is indeed a true licensed service dog.

Service animals are animals that are individually trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities ? such as guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling wheelchairs, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, or performing other special tasks. Service animals are working animals, not pets.

Does anyone here know if/how breed specific bans affect service dogs?

What does this mean for those banned breeds who ALREADY live there?

Its says "...or any existing tenants considering getting a dog...". It doesn't say current residents need to give up their dogs? Or does it? It says these breeds wont be allowed to reside at 50 Columbus.

Are these breeds somehow grandfathered in? Or do they gotta go?
