Find and contact their homeowners’ insurance company. If the local office doesn’t do anything about it, a main office will probably do so. Word is that insurance companies won’t cover people who own dangerous dogs. I’ll try to find a minute to post more info about that.
I like the idea of insurance companies not covering homeowners with dangerous dogs. This should apply to people that rent property too — including section 8 housing. Make it so unaffordable so that no one will have this horrible breed.
I seriously doubt that there is an insurance policy....................
I live in a rural area. Everyone owns dogs. The only problem dogs are the pit bulls. My neighbor's pit bull has already killed a neighborhood cat, and mauled three dogs.
Here’s a link, and of course it applies to landlords. If you want to get rid of a pit bull in the neighborhood, find the insurance company. Make some calls. Notice the part about “fraud” in the last sentence of the article behind the following link.
Are pit bulls costing your clients their homeowners insurance?

Also, check case law in your state. Is your state letting pit bull owners get away without paying enough for damages? Talk to your legislators.
The dogs owner was already in jail for domestic violence and an outstanding warrant. He is probably not going to have two nickels to rub together or homeowners insurance.
Pit bull owners tend to be judgment proof. Doubtful if they have any homeowners insurance or care about premiums that they don’t pay anyway
