BATHROOM AND TOILET ROOM FLOORS
Operative Text
Every toilet room floor surface and bathroom floor surface shall be maintained so as to be reasonably impervious to water and so as to permit such floor to be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. (Code 1964, § 12A-7)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. IV § 15-106, every bathroom and toilet room floor must be kept in a condition that resists water penetration and can be maintained in a clean, sanitary state. The rule applies to the ongoing maintenance of these surfaces, not just their initial installation. Both the material properties of the floor and its day-to-day cleanliness are covered by this requirement.

Property owners and managers operating under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. IV § 15-106 generally keep bathroom and toilet room floors in good repair, ensuring surfaces remain water-resistant and free of cracks, gaps, or deterioration that could allow moisture to penetrate or make cleaning difficult. Routine inspections of grout, caulking, tile, and other flooring materials help operators stay ahead of conditions that could bring a unit out of compliance. Documenting maintenance and repair work in these areas is a common practice among compliant operators.
