Omaha Municipal Code § 48-103
in effectSec. 48-103. - Burden of proof.
On appeal, the code official must first produce evidence substantiating the decision, notice or order at issue. If the board determines the code official has met this burden, then the appealing party must show why the decision, notice or order should be rescinded or modified, or why a requirement of the code should be waived. On all issues except for the removal of tenants and demolition orders, the appeal is denied unless a majority of the board votes to reverse, rescind, modify or waive. Orders to remove tenants or to demolish a building or structure must be sustained by majority vote.
