Troublesome neighbor
Our neighbors need advice. We live in Monarch Grove and have a wonderful group of people living on our block of Gonzalez Lane. One of our neighbors is an issue. They watch people walking their dogs and remotely turn on their sprinkler system whenever people walk by. We have an elderly lady with dementia who regularly gets doused as she walks her small dog. Everyone is very respectful and picks up any dog poop. Our scared neighbors automatically move to the other side of the street. We feel stalked and sad.

They may have motion sprinkler which automatically comes on when detecting motion. I have it too, so animals will stay off the lawn, I think it’s a great idea. I’ve watered myself a couple of times when I forgot… it’s no biggy. Now if the sprinklers water the street than that should be reported. |

I don't blame the property owner for their actions. I hope they never miss any person who disrespects their property. Carry On! |

If it is automated to come on when there is any motion that might be a different matter. Then they are not targeting someone they should know has dementia. |

How do you know they are activating the sprinklers? It could be a sensor system. Are the people getting wet on the street? If they are on the lawn, then that’s their problem. I suspect they are on the lawn based on your “everyone is respectful and picks up the poop” comment. Why do you feel stalked? That seems like an extreme reaction based on what you wrote above. |

You did not state if the water from the sprinklers are going into the road spraying the walkers or just spraying onto the owners property. There are little signs that can be put out there that say “No dogs on lawn”.
Better et, just pretend there is a car parked in front of his house and walk around it. Remember it is his property, not everyone loves dogs….. |

If the sprinklers are properly calibrated to water only the lawn and not into the street (while allowing for drift from any wind, to stay off of the street) - I'm not seeing the problem.

Where are people supposed to walk their dogs? There aren’t sidewalks.

If it can be proved that every time (key phrase) someone sets foot in front of that house the sprinklers go on AND that it's vengeful, you have a case.. If it isn't every time then you have a$$h&&&s which gets handled differently - typically confrontation. In order to prove this you'll need videos with time and date stamps over several days. Yes it's a lot of work, and people like this count on the fact that no one (especially here) will bother - however Ring has made this so very easy. You just need a Ring cam (any wifi motion activated cam will do) and it needs to be set up to trigger on that property and it's movement. one key factor to note is Ring is highly admissible where some cheap off brand may not be. Call it name notoriety All this about where are the sprinklers pointing is BS nitpick junk, water in the road etc has ZERO bearing on this. You need to establish if this is purposeful. I much prefer confrontation first, it might settle the reasoning portion. Also you know what you are dealing with and then it's easier to deal with.
