Allegheny County Health Department inspects Pittsburgh food facilities under Article III rules; consolidated 2024 absorption of city Health Department centralized food-safety enforcement countywide and posts inspection results online for public review.
ACHD licenses and inspects every restaurant, market, and mobile food unit in Pittsburgh under Article III Food Safety. Inspections check temperature, sanitation, pest control, and worker hygiene. Violations are categorized as high, moderate, or low risk. Consumer alerts close facilities posing imminent health hazards until reinspection clears them. The 2024 consolidation eliminated overlapping city Health Department food permits; ACHD is now sole authority. Results post at achd.alleghenycounty.us within days of each visit, and operators must display the most recent inspection report inside the establishment.
High-risk violations trigger consumer alerts and closure; fines $150-$1,000 per violation; repeat offenders face license suspension or revocation by ACHD board.
