Fire code compliance in Detroit: what to expect

Fire code compliance in Detroit usually starts with a notice from the fire marshal: missing inspection reports, expired extinguisher tags, blocked exits, impaired sprinklers, a panel in trouble or a kitchen hood out of service. A fire protection contractor helps sort out which items need licensed work, corrects them and documents the fix for reinspection.

Owners and managers in Detroit, Hamtramck, Dearborn, Southfield and suburbs across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties also call before opening a restaurant, changing a building's use or taking over an older property where records are missing. Buildings that have sat vacant often need several systems brought back into service at once.

Start with a commercial fire safety inspection to establish a baseline, then compare fire protection companies in Detroit for the repairs. Structural or layout changes may also need code compliance upgrades from a general contractor.

What a proper job includes

  • Review of the violation notice or inspection report with you
  • Site walk to confirm each cited item and its cause
  • Inspection, testing and repair of affected systems
  • Coordination with electricians, plumbers or general contractors as needed
  • Permits and plan review for work that requires them
  • Updated reports, tags and records for reinspection

What drives the price

  • Number and type of cited items
  • Whether systems need testing, repair or full replacement
  • Permits, drawings and plan review time
  • Deadlines set in the violation notice
  • Missing records that require full retesting
  • Other trades needed for egress, walls or doors

Licensing and code requirements in Michigan

The fire code is enforced by the local fire department or fire marshal, and in Detroit by the Detroit Fire Marshal Division; the Michigan Bureau of Fire Services has jurisdiction over certain state-regulated facilities. Correction work is done by LARA licensed trades: fire alarm or electrical contractors for alarms, and mechanical contractors in the Fire Suppression classification for sprinklers.

Work that alters a building or system may need a permit from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit). Ask your contractor which items need permits before work starts, and check licenses on the LARA lookup.

  4. Check each trade license on the LARA lookup.
  5. Ask for documentation you can hand the fire marshal.
