Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York
Article 7, section 121
My question is, if a town/city does not follow the procedures within Article 7 and a known Dangerous Dog that viciously attacked is still a threat because the town did not do their job......
Is there a case against the city for not following New York State Law with regards to Article 7?

Re: Article 7, section 121
Probably not. You would have to prove that they had actual knowledge of the harm and a special duty to protect the victim from the harm. It's not enough that an agency failed to act or even that a general complaint had been made.
