Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code ch. 21.56 § 21.56.180
Notice and Orders
Operative Text
Whenever the Building Official determines that there has been a violation of this chapter, or has reasonable grounds to believe that there is or has been a violation of any provisions of this chapter, he shall be given notice of such alleged violation to the person, firm or corporation to whom the mobile home court or trailer court license was issued as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall: (a) Be in writing; (b) Specify in detail the alleged violation; (c) Specify a reasonable time (but generally not less than thirty days) for the performance of any act it requires; (d) Contain an outline of remedial action, which if taken will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter; (e) Be served upon the licensee, provided that such notice shall have been properly served when a copy thereof has been sent by registered mail to the last known address of licensee, or when same has been served by any other method authorized by the laws of the state of Nebraska. At the end of such period specified for compliance the Building Official shall inspect the mobile home court or trailer court and if the alleged violations have not been corrected, the bureau of licenses and permits shall remove the license and shall give notice in writing of such revocation to the person, firm or corporation to whom the license is issued. Upon receipt of such notice or revocation, the licensee shall cease operation of such mobile home court or trailer court. Whenever the Building Official finds an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, safety and welfare, he may issue an order reciting the existence of such emergency and take action as he may deem necessary to meet the emergency. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, such order shall be effective immediately. (Ord. 10875 §18; July 30, 1973).
Lincoln Municipal Code § 21.56.180 establishes the process by which the Building Official notifies mobile home court or trailer court licensees of alleged code violations and the consequences of non-compliance. Written notice must specify the violation in detail, outline the corrective steps needed, and generally allow at least thirty days for the licensee to come into compliance. If violations remain uncorrected after that period, the bureau of licenses and permits may revoke the court's operating license. In emergency situations threatening public health, safety, or welfare, the Building Official may take immediate action without waiting for the standard notice-and-cure period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts or trailer courts in Lincoln should be aware that § 21.56.180 requires the Building Official to deliver written violation notices specifying the alleged infraction and a remediation timeline—typically no fewer than thirty days. A compliant operator generally responds promptly to such notices, takes the outlined corrective actions within the specified period, and maintains records of remediation efforts. Failure to correct cited violations can result in license revocation and a mandatory halt to operations, and emergency conditions may trigger immediate enforcement action without advance notice.

Residents of mobile home courts or trailer courts in Lincoln may find § 21.56.180 relevant when their community appears to have unaddressed code violations, since this provision governs how the Building Official formally notifies and holds licensees accountable. If a licensee fails to correct violations within the notice period, the provision allows for license revocation, which could affect the operation of the community. Tenants who believe violations exist may consider contacting the Lincoln Building and Safety Department to report concerns, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
