PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh may soon be cracking down on problem properties.
A new bill that will be introduced by Pittsburgh city Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith Tuesday would punish property owners with criminal charges for not addressing issues.
According to our news exchange partners TribLIVE, a property would be deemed disruptive by Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich after three incidents in one year or after a serious offense or repeat drug overdoses.
