LMC Chapter 9.36 authorizes Lincoln Police to cite loud parties that disturb neighbors, with second responses within 12 months triggering host accountability fines and potential nuisance abatement, common near UNL student housing.
Under LMC 9.36 and noise standards in Chapter 8.24, gatherings that produce unreasonable noise audible at neighboring property at night violate municipal law. Lincoln operates a loud-party response program: a first response triggers a warning and posted notice listing all attendees and the host. A second documented response at the same address within 12 months brings a misdemeanor citation and shared-cost billing. Repeat addresses near UNL Greek Row and student rentals can be declared nuisance properties subject to abatement.
First response generates a warning and posted notice. Second response within 12 months brings citations up to $500, response cost recovery, and possible nuisance abatement against the property owner.
