Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code ch. 21.50 § 21.50.060
Failure to Comply
Operative Text
Failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 21.50.010 through 21.50.040 shall be deemed to constitute a nuisance, and the City Attorney is authorized to institute injunctive or other appropriate action or proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such violation. (Ord. 12795 §6; January 21, 1980).
Lincoln Municipal Code § 21.50.060 establishes that any failure to comply with the requirements set out in Sections 21.50.010 through 21.50.040 is legally classified as a nuisance. When a violation is found, the City Attorney has the authority to pursue injunctive relief or other appropriate legal action in court to stop the non-compliant conduct. This provision gives the city a formal legal mechanism to compel compliance through the judicial system rather than relying solely on administrative penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 21.50.060, property owners and managers who do not meet the standards outlined in Sections 21.50.010 through 21.50.040 risk having their conduct declared a nuisance, which can trigger court-ordered injunctions sought by the City Attorney. Compliant operators generally maintain ongoing adherence to all requirements in those sections to avoid the prospect of litigation initiated by the city. Keeping thorough records of compliance efforts is a practice commonly associated with operators who successfully demonstrate conformance with Lincoln's municipal standards.

Section § 21.50.060 of Lincoln's Municipal Code gives the City Attorney — not individual tenants — the authority to take legal action against landlords whose properties or practices violate Sections 21.50.010 through 21.50.040. Tenants who believe a violation is occurring may report the concern to the appropriate city office so that the City Attorney can evaluate whether to pursue injunctive or other court action. Tenant-rights organizations in Lincoln can help residents understand what conduct falls under those sections and what reporting options are generally available.
