nLab π-Kan condition

Idea

The $\pi_\ast$-Kan condition (Bousfield & Friedlander 1978, B.3) on a bisimplicial set guarantees that its geometric realization behaves well with respect to homotopy pullback (Bousfield & Friedlander 1978, Thm. B.4).

See also this Prop. at geometric realization of simplicial topological spaces.
