To assist business owners in maintaining a safe environment and complying with fire safety codes, Fire Inspector’s Guides have been developed. These guides list basic items that are inspected, based on the type of occupancy, to ensure code compliance and to help prevent fires. If you are not sure what type of occupancy applies to your business, please consult the reference guide, Occupancy Classifications, for information and a description of each occupancy type. Keep in mind that businesses are typically categorized under one occupancy type, however, in some cases, more than one occupancy type may apply.

The Self-Certification Inspection program is for apartment complexes with 3 – 15 units. Building owners interested in participating in the program are required to complete an Apartment Self-Certification Affidavit which includes a self-inspection of the property and providing emergency contact information. Apartment building owners who do not wish to participate in the voluntary self-certification program will require an inspection to be conducted by a Fire Prevention Officer.
