CINCINNATI NUIANCE ORDINACE

 

 

CINCINNATI NUIANCE ORDINACE 

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, THE CITY OF CINCINNATI IS SEEKING TO EXPAND THE PARAMETERS OF ITS NUISANCE ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS CHRONIC VIOLENCE. 
THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER REPORTS THAT FOOD AND/OR BEVERAGE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN THE SITE OF CHRONIC, RECURRING VIOLENCE, COULD SOON SEE CITY FINES FOR THE INCIDENTS. CINCINNATI CITY COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING NEW LEGISTLATION THAT WOULD EXPAND ITS CHRONIC NUISANCE ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE RESTAURANTS, BARS AND NIGHTCLUBS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AS MANY AS 30 SUCH INCIDENTS SO FAR THIS YEAR ALONE. IF PASSED, THESE VENUES COULD SEE FINES OF $1,250. THE FOCUS WOULD BE DRUGS, VIOLENCE AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
