15 region-specific compliance rules across the District, Maryland, and Virginia — mapped to your home, tracked by deadline, and surfaced before a missed test, a denied claim, or a citation can hurt you.
Each one auto-applies to your home based on your jurisdiction, your systems, and your property type.
DC Water requires annual testing for irrigation, fire suppression, and certain commercial-grade plumbing connections. Missed deadlines trigger fines and service holds.
Annual chimney inspection is required for wood-burning fireplaces in many DC row-home structures and is increasingly required by insurers regardless.
Class A & B rental dwellings require registration with DCRA and periodic inspections. Lapses can void rental income and trigger penalties.
Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties have grading and drainage standards. Failing pumps before storm season are a top insurance-denial driver.
MD insurers increasingly require annual dryer-vent and chimney servicing; lapses can be cited in fire claim denials.
All Montgomery County rentals require licensing, lead certification (pre-1978), and routine inspection. The rules change — we track them.
Homes on well and septic in western VA have testing and pump-out schedules. A missed pump-out can fail the Virginia Health Department inspection at sale.
Fairfax and Loudoun increasingly enforce gas-appliance and chimney inspection. Insurers require evidence for claims involving combustion appliances.
Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax STR permits require ongoing compliance, inspections, and zoning verification.
Each jurisdiction has its own placement, type (10-year sealed vs. hardwired), and testing rules. We map them to your home automatically.
DC/MD/VA each have different recommended radon retest intervals. We track yours by ZIP and last test date.
Each carrier defines proof-of-maintenance windows (typically 12–24 months) before claims can be challenged. We keep yours inside the window.
Federal law requires anti-entrapment pool drain covers, replaced every 5–7 years. DC, MD, and VA also require self-closing, self-latching gates and 54-inch barriers. We track every install date and certificate.
DC requires lead inspections for pre-1978 rentals and disclosure on certain sales. Missed cycles can trigger fines from DC's environmental department and void leases.
DC Water, WSSC (MD), Fairfax Water, and Loudoun Water all require annual certified testing of irrigation, fire suppression, and plumbing backflow devices. Missed deadlines trigger service holds and fines.
Jurisdictions enforce inconsistently — but when they do, fines and re-inspection fees stack quickly. We surface every deadline weeks ahead.
Most policy denials we see trace back to lapsed maintenance evidence. The Compliance Monitor feeds your Certified Report and closes that gap.
Virginia Health Department septic letters, lead certificates, rental registrations, and inspection logs are the items that derail closings. We have them ready.
We map every rule to your specific home so nothing falls through the cracks.
