Recent Events:


January 2025 

The BOMA Engineering Committee met at Vantage South End on Thursday, January 30 with representatives from the Charlotte Fire Department (CFD) to gain insight into annual building inspections and plan review tips. The meeting started with Q&A, followed by presentation CFD training materials (Click to download: Service schedule,Inspection guide and Self inspection checklist). The overall take away is to stay in close contact with your area CFD inspector and to keep excellent physical and electronic records of all fire life safety inspections and deficiency corrections. For questions regarding this event, please reach out to dillon.houser@charlottenc.gov.
