Can I be evicted for pet waste if I have been picking up my dog’s waste?
I just received my 30 days notice for failure to pick up my pet’s waste. After receiving my first complaint, I was very careful to pick up my dog’s waste. However, there was a federal inspection on the entire rental community, and after the inspection, everyone received a complaint from management, that was non-reversible (believe me, I tried). The older lady that lives below me has filed several complaints about the most ridiculous things, and last week, when I forgot my baggy, and had to run and grab one, filed a complaint, thus giving me my 30 days notice. What, if anything can I do?

It is entirely possible that under the circumstances that you have written about that you can be evicted for not picking up dog waste despite your claim that you are doing so. Given the thirty (30) days notice of your eviction served upon you I suggest that you consult with independent legal counsel practicing in the area of landlord tenant law as to what your legal recourse is.
