Depending upon your relationship with your neighbor you might try talking to them or leaving a note on their door before involving the authorities. But if that does not work, the Town of Alpine does have an ordinance regarding noisy animals. The Town municipal officer will use his judgment in whether or not to issue a verbal warning, written warning, or a citation.  If a citation is written the complainant has the right to come to court to voice their claims.

Alpine Town Ordinance #152 also contains sections banning cruelty to animals, prohibits livestock within the Town, limits the number of animals a person is allowed to have, prohibits offensive animal enclosures, and regulates the disposal of animal carcasses. Offending animals may be impounded, owners may be fined, and in extreme cases, the animal(s) may be removed by the court.
