STORAGE OF DANGEROUS ARTICLES
Operative Text
No person shall use any portion of any multiple dwelling, rooming house, hotel or nursing home as a place of storage for any article or material that is combustible or highly inflammable, dangerous or detrimental to health, or which is so placed that it may impede egress. (Code 1964, § 12A-6)
Section 15-89 of Bellevue, Nebraska's Code of Ordinances prohibits storing combustible, highly flammable, health-hazardous, or egress-blocking materials in any part of a multiple dwelling, rooming house, hotel, or nursing home. The rule applies to all persons — residents, owners, and operators alike — and covers the entire building, not just individual units. Its purpose is to reduce fire risk and ensure that occupants can safely exit the building in an emergency.
