Code Compliance Inspection FAQs
What are code compliance inspections and why are they important for my business?
Code compliance inspections are professional evaluations of your property’s life safety systems—such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, and fire sprinklers—to ensure they meet national and local code requirements. These inspections are critical for maintaining operational status, passing Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) reviews, avoiding costly fines, and protecting the health and safety of your occupants. Group One performs code-compliant inspections aligned with NFPA standards, Florida Building Code, and AHJ-specific mandates. We help ensure your business is ready for walk-throughs, license renewals, or insurance audits—with documented reports and timely remediation if needed.
What systems are included in a commercial code compliance inspection?
Group One provides comprehensive inspection services for: • Fire alarm systems (panels, detectors, pull stations, strobes, horns) • Fire sprinkler systems (wet/dry pipe, risers, valves, flow switches) • Exit signage and emergency lighting • Backflow preventers and water pressure systems • Elevator emergency communications • Battery backup and power supplies • Fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems (kitchen or special hazard) We work across all major industries including education, healthcare, retail, HOAs, and industrial facilities—ensuring your building stays safe, operational, and code-compliant.
How often do I need code compliance inspections?
The required inspection frequency depends on the type of system and occupancy classification. Some general guidelines include: • Fire alarm systems: Annually (per NFPA 72) • Sprinkler systems: Quarterly, annually, and 5-year intervals (per NFPA 25) • Emergency lighting & exit signs: Monthly visual checks and annual 90-minute tests • Backflow preventers: Annually (as required by local water authorities) Failure to maintain these inspection schedules can result in citations, insurance coverage issues, or system failure during emergencies.
Who enforces code compliance, and what happens if I fail an inspection?
Your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)—typically a fire marshal or building official—enforces life safety and fire code compliance. If your business fails an inspection, the AHJ may issue a citation, impose fines, or require corrections within a set timeframe. In more serious cases, they may revoke your certificate of occupancy or delay your permit renewals. To avoid these outcomes, Group One not only performs inspections, but provides fast turnaround on deficiency corrections, documentation, and re-inspections.
