Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV (2026) § 13-326
Same—Compliance with ANSI standards
Operative Text
Compliance with the appropriate requirements of the American National Standard for buildings and facilities providing accessibility and usability for physically handicapped people (commonly cited as ANSI A117.1) suffices to satisfy the requirements of section 13-325 .
Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-326, a building or facility that meets the relevant requirements of the ANSI A117.1 standard—the American National Standard addressing accessibility and usability for physically handicapped people—is considered to be in compliance with the accessibility obligations set out in the preceding section, § 13-325. In other words, ANSI A117.1 serves as an accepted benchmark for satisfying Omaha's local accessibility rules. The provision does not create new obligations beyond those in § 13-325; it simply identifies a recognized technical standard as a sufficient path to compliance.

Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-326 establishes that ANSI A117.1 compliance is sufficient to meet the accessibility standards required by § 13-325, which means tenants can reference both provisions when evaluating whether a building's accessibility features meet the city's expectations. If a tenant believes a property falls short of these standards, options may include raising the issue with the landlord in writing, contacting the relevant Omaha city office that handles housing code complaints, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information. Consulting a qualified housing attorney or advocacy group can help a tenant understand how § 13-326 and the ANSI A117.1 benchmark apply to a particular building's features.
