Inspection Process
We will notify you prior to the inspection. During the inspection, we will show you any violations of the Fire Code and ask you to fix these violations. We will issue a report that details the noted violations. We will conduct a follow-up inspection to make sure that all violations have been corrected. We will work with you to resolve any compliance issues.
