Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code ch. 21.05 § 21.05.480
Section 21.05.480 Deleted; Elevators, Escalators and Dumbwaiters
Operative Text
Section 606 of the International Property Maintenance Code is hereby deleted. (Ord. 19349 §48; March 1, 2009).
Section 21.05.480 of the Lincoln Municipal Code removes Section 606 of the International Property Maintenance Code from local applicability, meaning the specific IPMC provisions governing elevators, escalators, and dumbwaiters do not apply as written under Lincoln's adopted code. By deleting this section, Lincoln has chosen not to incorporate those particular mechanical conveyance maintenance standards into its local property maintenance framework. Other applicable state or local regulations may still govern such equipment independently.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code § 21.05.480, the elevator, escalator, and dumbwaiter maintenance requirements found in Section 606 of the International Property Maintenance Code are not part of Lincoln's locally adopted standards. Property owners and managers operating buildings with such equipment should be aware that compliance obligations for these systems may instead arise from other applicable state, county, or local codes rather than the IPMC. Operators generally consult the full body of applicable Lincoln and Nebraska regulations to understand what maintenance and inspection standards govern mechanical conveyances in their properties.

Section 21.05.480 of the Lincoln Municipal Code means that the IPMC's Section 606 standards for elevators, escalators, and dumbwaiters were removed from Lincoln's local code, so tenants cannot rely on that particular IPMC section as a basis for a local code complaint. If a tenant has concerns about the safety or maintenance of such equipment in a rental property, other state or local regulations may still provide relevant protections. Tenants may wish to contact Lincoln's local code enforcement office or a tenant-rights organization to understand what standards and complaint processes remain available.
