Overview
The Code Enforcement program reduces the potential of loss by fire or other hazards through a variety methods including plan reviews, inspections, and testing.
Plan Reviews
We get involved in the planning stages of a building and provide critical input into designing the fire protection and life safety features as well as providing required approvals to the builder/architect. Once construction begins, our inspectors work with contractors to ensure that fire sprinklers and alarm systems, meet all local requirements, Fire Codes and are in working order as they are installed, prior to the final permitting process.

Fire Hydrants
Fire hydrant testing is also an important part of the Code Enforcement program. All of the more than 4,000 fire hydrants within the District must be in working order for firefighter use should a fire happen. An annual testing and or inspections are accomplished through a contracted vendor or fire department personnel. Furthermore, this testing is also a vital component of the Insurance Services Office's (ISO) community risk rating program which many insurance companies use to help set the premiums property owners pay for their insurance.
