The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and Fire, The City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Building Inspection, Allegheny County District Attorney's Office, Allegheny County Health Department, Pennsylvania State Liquor Control Board, Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement, and Concerned Citizens of The City of Pittsburgh. The Nuisance Bar Task Force was organized by the Pittsburgh Neighborhood Alliance in 1986. The goal of the NBTF is to address a chronic problem experienced in many Pittsburgh neighborhoods: Bars that are havens for illicit activities such as drug sales, homicides, shootings, assaults, prostitution, gambling, underage drinking, loud noise, vandalism, open lewdness, etc.
Through a joint effort of all the members' organizations, the NBTF effectively addresses issues that cross-areas of responsibilities and jurisdictions. This done by a joint cooperation between all the agencies involved. The primary goal is to bring the Nuisance Bar into compliance with the Liquor board, building, health, and fire codes of the City of Pittsburgh and the State of Pennsylvania.
