"It's a minefield over here," said Max Moyet, 34, a dog walker who lives on Central Park West. "It upsets the hell out of me." Advertisement Morningside Drive, Amsterdam Avenue, West End Avenue, Riverside Drive and Central Park West lead the number of complaints, sanitation officers told the New York Post in a story published Sunday. The Department of Sanitation issued 909 dog poop violations citywide between July 2007 and June 2008, a 16-percent increase from the same period the previous year. City officials and irate residents hope an increase in fines from $50 to $250 per violation will make dog owners more considerate. "It's their self-absorbed, all-about-me attitude," Moyet said. "They're like, 'I'm too busy going to my Pilates class. I don't have the time to keep the neighborhood clean.'"
