The DC Department of Buildings (DOB) is excited to announce new updates to our housing and property maintenance code inspection request form and our basic business license (BBL) inspection request form.
As part of DOB’s role as a catalyst for responsible economic development, we ensure all buildings in the District are maintained in safe and habitable conditions. Unsafe and unhealthy buildings are dangerous to human life and hurt the sustainability and resilience of the built environment.
DOB also partners with the community by inspecting rental housing, both when a property owner applies for a license to rent the property, and per the request of a tenant.
• User-friendly interface to report housing complaints
• Guided and simplified customer flow to validate housing complaints and basic business license activity
• Neighborhood search tool to confirm location, even if you don’t know the exact address
• Automatic assignment of inspectors at the point of the form being submitted, allowing for shorter wait times for inspections to take place
• Ability to upload multiple photos and videos directly to the assigned inspector
• Option to choose a date for the inspection and reschedule an inspection
We trust these new forms will be helpful to the community in helping us remedy of housing complaints and improve the basic business license (BBL) process in the District. Thank you for your partnership.
