To provide certain minimum standards, provisions, and requirements
for property maintenance, upkeep, repair and renovation, safe and

currently existing and hereafter erected, constructed, enlarged, altered,
repaired, relocated, and converted, the International Property Maintenance
Code, 2018 Edition, printed in book or pamphlet form is hereby adopted
and incorporated by reference as though printed in full herein insofar
as said code does not conflict with the Statutes of the State of Nebraska.
