Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code ch. 21.09 § 21.09.040
Violation Not Exclusive
Operative Text
Violations of this chapter are in addition to any other violations enumerated within the ordinances of the Lincoln Municipal Code . This chapter in no way limits the penalties, actions, or abatement procedures which may be taken by the City for a violation of this chapter which is also a violation of any other ordinance of the City of Lincoln or statute of the State of Nebraska. (Ord. 20058 §4; August 11, 2014).
Section 21.09.040 of the Lincoln Municipal Code establishes that a violation of Chapter 21.09 does not stand alone as an isolated infraction — it can simultaneously constitute a violation of other city ordinances or Nebraska state statutes. The City of Lincoln retains the full range of penalties, enforcement actions, and abatement procedures available under any overlapping law, and nothing in Chapter 21.09 narrows or caps those remedies. In other words, a single act of noncompliance may expose a party to multiple, concurrent legal consequences under different bodies of law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code ch. 21.09 should be aware that a single compliance failure can trigger enforcement under more than one legal framework simultaneously. Because § 21.09.040 explicitly preserves the City's authority to pursue penalties and abatement under other ordinances and Nebraska statutes, compliant operators generally review their practices against the full scope of applicable local and state requirements — not just Chapter 21.09 alone. Keeping thorough records of maintenance, inspections, and corrective actions can help demonstrate good-faith compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 21.09.040, tenants should know that a landlord's violation of Chapter 21.09 may also constitute a violation of other Lincoln city ordinances or Nebraska state law, meaning the City can pursue enforcement on multiple fronts at once. This provision does not limit the remedies or actions available to the City, which may strengthen the overall enforcement response to a given violation. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider contacting the City of Lincoln's relevant enforcement offices, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or reviewing Nebraska state housing statutes to understand the full range of protections that may apply.
