Plain English

Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-354, once a housing complaint is filed, the director is required to pursue conciliation—an informal resolution process—to the extent feasible, and this effort continues until the matter is either resolved through a formal charge or dismissed. The provision establishes a structured window during which both parties have an opportunity to reach a mutually acceptable outcome before more formal enforcement steps are taken. Conciliation is a standard step in the complaint process, not an optional add-on.
