allows anonymous complaints for a good reason.

Except that code doesn't allow complaints to remain anonymous past the
initial investigation. If an agency takes action -- a fine or citation --
the records become public for due process proceedings at hearings. The name
of all complainants will be made public.

Dan (the OP) is right on the money with his approach. There is plenty of
time to involve government if the neighbor persists in his behavior once Dan
talks with him.
