Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-370, when a party charged under section 13-365 does not elect to have the matter resolved through the courts (as permitted by section 13-369), the Civil Rights Hearing Board is required to hold a formal hearing on the record. That hearing is then assigned to a hearing examiner in accordance with section 13-129. This process provides an administrative forum for resolving civil rights charges related to housing or other covered conduct.

For Property Managers

Property owners or managers who are the subject of a charge filed under section 13-365 and who do not opt for judicial determination under section 13-369 should be aware that, under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-370, the Civil Rights Hearing Board will schedule a formal administrative hearing on the record. Compliant operators generally ensure they are prepared to participate in that process, including responding to any notices from the hearing examiner designated under section 13-129. Maintaining thorough documentation of rental practices and communications is a common practice for operators navigating this type of administrative proceeding.

For Tenants

If a civil rights charge you filed under section 13-365 proceeds without a judicial election under section 13-369, Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-370 guarantees you the right to a formal hearing on the record before the Civil Rights Hearing Board, conducted by a designated hearing examiner. This administrative process is one avenue through which housing-related civil rights complaints can be formally adjudicated. Tenants in this situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand how to participate effectively in the hearing process.
