While I don’t live in Boston, my apartment complex got so many complaints about dog poo in the park and around the area that they started charging people by sending the poop to a lab to get tested. I heard it’s over a 100 dollars! I haven’t seen poop in a long time walking around.

I'm confused. How do they use the lab results to track it back to the dog?

Usually you have to register your dogs DNA with the building owners or HOA

This should be a citywide program in my opinion, all paid for by dog owners when they register their pet and violations should be expensive and involve picking up dog poop.

Yep that’s exactly how they are able to trace it back. Someone I know had this happen to them because they didn’t see a poop under some tall-ish grass. They tried to get it waived by saying it’s a first offense in years that they have had the dog but our building management said they already paid for the test results so it could not be waived.
