Developments

In May 2013 the Council adopted the "Kevin Felder ordinance" creating new security and reporting requirements for nightclubs and event venues. It was named in memory of the victim of a fatal stabbing outside Club Zen which led to its closure.

In 2020 Birmingham City Attorney Nicole King established the "Office of the City Attorney's Drug and Nuisance Abatement Team" (OCA-DNAT) which has filed civil suits against businesses which are determined to have fostered nuisance conditions through negligence. The office takes complaints from the public and through the Birmingham Police Department. Businesses served with suits in 2020–2021 include the Monarch Ridge Apartments in Apple Valley and the Town Motel in Graymont. In May 2024, following a major shootout, King's office drafted a complaint against 3rd Avenue Ventures LLC and Express Mart of AL LLC, operators of the Shell gas station and Boston Fish Supreme restaurant at 800 3rd Avenue West in Bush Hills. The suit accused the businesses as serving as "a launching pad for criminal activity." Days later the city also filed a suit against the owner and operator of Cru Lounge at 2300 1st Avenue North.
