Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15 (2026) § 15-33
SAME—VACATION
Operative Text
Any dwelling or dwelling unit which has been placarded as unfit for human habitation by the Permits and Inspections Department shall be vacated within a reasonable length of time as required by the division. No owner or operator shall let to any person for human habitation and no person shall occupy any dwelling or dwelling unit which has been placarded by the Permits and Inspections Department after the date on which the division has required the affected dwelling or dwelling unit to be vacated. (1964 Code, § 12A-10)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. II § 15-33, when the Permits and Inspections Department officially placards a dwelling or dwelling unit as unfit for human habitation, that property must be vacated within a timeframe set by the division. Once that deadline passes, neither renting nor occupying the placarded unit is permitted. The rule applies to owners, operators, and occupants alike, creating a blanket prohibition on human habitation of condemned units after the required vacation date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15-33, a property owner or operator who receives a placard from Bellevue's Permits and Inspections Department declaring a unit unfit for human habitation is generally expected to ensure the unit is vacated by the deadline the division establishes. Compliant operators do not re-rent or allow continued occupancy of a placarded unit after that date. Keeping records of the placard notice, the required vacation date, and any remediation steps taken is a practice commonly associated with responsible property management under this type of provision.

Section 15-33 of Bellevue's Code of Ordinances means that if your dwelling has been officially placarded as unfit for human habitation by the Permits and Inspections Department, you have a right to know the deadline by which the division requires the unit to be vacated. Continued occupancy after that date is prohibited under the ordinance, and a landlord cannot lawfully re-rent a placarded unit to anyone. Tenants facing a placard situation may wish to contact Bellevue's Permits and Inspections Department for information about the required timeline, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
