Public Nuisances Could Lose Liquor Licenses

10 TV: City leaders are looking to crack down on bars and other establishments that may be public nuisances. Public nuisances are establishments with community complaints, or places that keep police busy...

When it comes to liquor establishments in the city of Columbus, residents have the option to complain through the city attorney's office. Each year, permit carriers go through a renewal process with the state, and during that process municipalities can object to the permit renewal if there are problems and complaints…

10TV obtained a list of the bars with the most police runs in the city. The list included Nvivo Club on Bush Boulevard; Condo Villa on Frebis Avenue; The Woods on East Fifth Avenue; The Lobby on South Hamilton Road; and Jeff's place on Joyce Avenue... Residents have until Sept. 1 to file complaints with the city attorney's office. In December, Columbus City Council will officially name establishments it feels should not have permits renewed.
