Fire Inspections During Tenant Improvements

Fire Inspections During Tenant Improvements

Opening: A real-world scene that could derail a move-in

The certificate is in hand, but the doors stay closed. A mid-size office tenant is wrapping up a cosmetic renovation: glass walls, polished concrete floors, and a new data-center room tucked behind a fire-rated door. The landlord wants to open in 60 days, the architect swears the plans are ready for permit, and the general contractor is sprinting toward completion. Yet the building’s fire protection systems—detection, alarm signaling, egress paths, and the required clearances around fire-rated assemblies—are still awaiting the final inspection approvals. The result? The project stalls, budgets stretch, and the occupiable date slips by weeks or even months.

This is not a failure of planning; it’s a friction point in Tenant Improvements (TI) fire safety compliance. TI projects—whether a simple storefront refresh, a multi-tenant build-out, or a complex interior reconfiguration—trigger a spectrum of fire protection requirements that must be understood, documented, and validated before occupancy. In many jurisdictions, the inspection and plan-review process for TI work is structured differently from new construction, but the stakes are the same: the safety of occupants and the protection of property.

In this article, we’ll explore how TI fire inspections work, why they matter, and how to navigate them quickly and effectively. We’ll ground the discussion in real-world practice across several major jurisdictions and align it with the standards that underlie modern fire protection planning. We’ll also show how 48Fire Protection can help you accelerate compliance without compromising safety.

Why TI Fire Safety Compliance matters

Tenant improvements are more than a cosmetic refresh. They often involve changes to occupancy load, means of egress, fire alarm signaling, fire suppression compatibility, renewable electrical load, and the integrity of fire-resistive assemblies around new or relocated elements. When you alter or relocate life-safety systems or building features that influence egress, storage of combustibles, or fire separation, you trigger plan review and inspection requirements. The consequences of noncompliance can include:

  • Delayed occupancy and revenue impact
  • Rework costs to bring systems into compliance
  • Reputational risk for landlords and tenants
  • Potential safety hazards that could endanger occupants

Because TI work often occurs within the operating life cycle of a building, it’s essential to coordinate between multiple stakeholders: property management, the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), the design team, general contractor, and the fire protection contractor. The goal is clear: a TI that is safe, compliant, and deliverable on the promised occupancy date.

As a baseline, TI work must align with applicable codes and standards, including but not limited to life-safety, fire prevention, and fire protection engineering requirements. The exact requirements—and the approach to review and inspection—vary by jurisdiction. However, several common threads run through most TI projects:

  • Passenger and occupant safety is non-negotiable; egress paths must remain unobstructed and clearly marked
  • Fire protection systems must be compatible with the new space configuration (alarm, detection, suppression)
  • Fire barriers and penetrations must be properly designed, installed, and tested
  • Documentation and recordkeeping must prove compliance

These threads create a practical need for early planning and proactive engagement with AHJs and fire protection professionals.

Key takeaway: TI inspections are not an optional add-on; they’re an integral part of delivering a safe, compliant, and occupiable space.

How TI inspections fit into the broader compliance framework

TI projects sit at the intersection of design, permitting, installation, and occupancy. Most jurisdictions require a permit for TI work and an inspection sequence that validates the work meets code requirements before the space is opened to occupants. The inspection sequence often includes:

  • Plan review (pre-work validation of proposed changes)
  • Permitting (approval to begin work)
  • On-site inspections during construction
  • Final inspection and certificate of occupancy (CO)
  • Ongoing lifecycle compliance (recurring inspections, system maintenance)

In practice, you’ll see a mix of “plan check” or “plan review” and on-site inspections that assess actual construction against the approved plans. The speed and efficiency of this process depend heavily on how well the TI team coordinates with the AHJ, the thoroughness of the submittals, and the clarity of the as-built documentation.

A few notable mechanisms exist in some jurisdictions to accelerate or streamline TI plan reviews:

  • Over-the-counter or accelerated plan-check pathways
  • Two-hour block sessions for plan-review meetings
  • Pre-inspection documentation requirements that clarify what must be present on site before inspectors arrive
  • Clear timelines for plan review, permit validity, and inspection scheduling

Understanding these mechanisms—and planning for them from project inception—can dramatically reduce delays and avoid rework.

  • San Francisco example: The San Francisco Fire Department offers an over-the-counter plan check pathway for TI projects, with certain submittals eligible to be approved within one hour. This accelerates the initial review and helps projects avoid protracted delays in the early planning stages. [SF Plan Check](https://sf-fire.org/services/plan-check)
  • Harris County (Texas) example: Harris County requires TI permits for occupied spaces and specifies a 15-business-day plan review processing time, along with a 6-month permit validity period and required pre-inspection documents. This demonstrates how jurisdictional timelines shape project planning and scheduling. [Harris County TI Guidance](https://oce.harriscountytx.gov/About/Divisions/Permits/Permits-A-to-Z/Small-Tenant-Improvement-Tenant-Space)
  • District of Columbia (DC) example: DC offers accelerated plan review for TI with plan-review sessions scheduled in two-hour blocks via ProjectDox, enabling faster approvals and more predictable scheduling. [DC Plan Review](https://dob.dc.gov/page/plan-review)
  • Industry baseline: NFPA standards underpin the requirements for life safety, fire protection design, and inspection practices in many jurisdictions, including TI scenarios. For a broader standards view, see NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. [NFPA 101 Life Safety Code](https://www.nfpa.org/Codes-and-Standards/All-Codes-and-Standards/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=101)
  • Real-world implication: The combination of plan-review speed, permit timing, and on-site inspection expectations directly affects when a TI project can move into occupancy. Projects that align early with the AHJ’s expectations—through proactive plan development, pre-inspection readiness, and timely submittals—often achieve smoother approvals and earlier occupancy.

Jurisdictional snapshots: San Francisco, Harris County, District of Columbia

To illustrate how TI fire inspections play out in practice, here are three representative jurisdictional snapshots that buyers, tenants, and facility managers frequently navigate in the United States.

San Francisco, CA (Plan check and occupancy readiness)

  • What changes: TI work often involves altering interior layouts, fire barriers, egress paths, and life-safety system interfaces as tenants reconfigure spaces.
  • Plan-check pathway: Over-the-counter plan check exists for TI projects, with certain submittals eligible to receive rapid approvals (potentially within an hour). This reduces wait times for initial approvals and helps keep timelines on track.
  • Key takeaway for project teams: Prepare a complete submittal set that addresses life-safety interfaces and ensures alignment with local fire code interpretations to maximize the chance of an expedited outcome. [SF Plan Check](https://sf-fire.org/services/plan-check)

Harris County, TX (Permit requirements and pre-inspections)

  • Permit requirement: TI permits are required for occupied spaces, reinforcing the need for formal approvals before work begins.
  • Processing and validity: Plan reviews have a defined 15-business-day processing window, and the permit validity period is six months, which provides a structured timeline for project delivery and phasing.
  • Pre-inspection documents: Pre-inspection documentation is required to facilitate a smooth on-site inspection process. This often includes as-built drawings, system certifications, and compliance verifications.
  • Key takeaway for project teams: Build a robust project schedule that accounts for plan review timelines and the six-month permit window, and assemble the required pre-inspection docs in advance. [Harris County TI Guidance](https://oce.harriscountytx.gov/About/Divisions/Permits/Permits-A-to-Z/Small-Tenant-Improvement-Tenant-Space)

District of Columbia (Plan review efficiency and project management)

  • Plan-review acceleration: DC supports accelerated review for TI projects, recognizing the need to support growth and economic activity.
  • Scheduling approach: Plan-review sessions are conducted in two-hour blocks via ProjectDox, enabling more predictable project milestones and faster decision-making.
  • Key takeaway for project teams: Engage early with the DC Plan Review process and leverage the two-hour block approach to minimize back-and-forth and keep the project on track. [DC Plan Review](https://dob.dc.gov/page/plan-review)
  • Real-world implication: Across these jurisdictions, TI projects benefit from early engagement with the AHJ, a clear understanding of permit and review timelines, and the preparation of thorough submittals that anticipate the AHJ’s questions and concerns. The result is a smoother path from concept to occupancy.

Common TI violations and how to prevent them

Improper air-separation around new or relocated mechanical spaces; insufficient egress width or illumination; unapproved changes to fire alarm zones; and penetrations in fire-rated assemblies are frequent trouble spots. Here are the top categories of TI violations that frequently trigger rework or inspection failure, along with practical prevention strategies.

Top TI violation categories

  • Means of egress and travel distances
  • Fire-rated assemblies and penetrations
  • Fire alarm and detection system changes
  • Fire suppression system modifications and compatibility
  • Occupancy load calculations and wall/door ratings
  • Storage and housekeeping in access and egress corridors
  • Temporary construction fire protection during TI work
  • Temporary or permanent fire extinguishers and signage
  • Coordination between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades (MEP)

Prevention strategies

  • Early design coordination meetings (pre-construction coordination)
  • Thorough red-flag review of all changes affecting life safety
  • Ensuring all penetrations through fire barriers are fire-stopped and properly listed
  • Verifying that new or relocated equipment is compatible with the building’s life-safety systems
  • Preparing accurate as-built documentation to reflect the final configuration
  • Conducting internal readiness inspections before AHJ inspections
  • Maintaining a clear, updated submittal package with all required drawings, specs, and calculations
  • Engaging a fire protection professional early to validate compliance with applicable NFPA standards
  • Pro tip: A proactive approach—where the TI team coordinates with the AHJ, and internal teams prepare a robust submittal package before plan checks—greatly reduces the risk of last-minute changes that push back occupancy dates.

NFPA standards and TI practices

Fire protection design and inspection practices for TI often rely on established NFPA codes and standards. The NFPA codes are widely referenced in city, county, and state code adoption. A foundational reference is the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, which guides egress, occupancy, fire protection features, and life-safety design across various occupancy types and modifications. See the official NFPA Life Safety Code overview for more context. [NFPA 101 Life Safety Code](https://www.nfpa.org/Codes-and-Standards/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=101)

  • Practical implication: When planning TI renovations, use NFPA 101 as a baseline for understanding required egress, smoke control, and life-safety features, and cross-check with local AHJ interpretations. Local plan review practices may further specify how NFPA concepts are applied to TI projects.
  • Additional note: Some AHJs may reference NFPA 1 Fire Code, NFPA 13 (Residential/Commercial Fire Sprinkler Systems), and NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) for specific requirements. The exact standard applicability depends on the occupancy, space function, and system changes.

The TI inspection process: a practical, step-by-step guide

To move through TI fire inspections efficiently, know what to expect and what to deliver at each stage. The process below reflects a typical TI inspection pathway, with practical steps to keep your project on track and avoid unnecessary delays.

Step 1: Define the scope and safety-critical changes

  • Identify all space modifications that affect life-safety systems, egress, and fire protection features.
  • Catalog changes to occupancy type, egress routes, vertical penetrations, fire barriers, and simplifications/relocations of fire protection equipment.

Step 2: Engage the right experts early

  • Coordinate with a fire protection contractor or plan reviewer who understands TI-specific pitfalls.
  • Bring in design teams to align on a compliant approach to egress, fire barriers, and system interfaces with any mechanical or electrical changes.

Step 3: Prepare a pre-submittal package

  • Include architectural floor plans showing new layouts and egress paths.
  • Include fire protection system drawings (alarms, detection, sprinklers, suppression) and any required calculations or verification data.
  • Provide fire separation details and fire-rated wall/door assemblies with construction details and tested assemblies.

Step 4: Submit for plan review

  • File the TI plan package with the AHJ, following the jurisdiction’s channel (online portal, in-person review, etc.).
  • Align submission content with AHJ’s submittal checklist to minimize resubmittals.
  • Expect questions that require clarifications or additional documentation.

Step 5: Plan review and response

  • Respond promptly to plan-review comments.
  • If the AHJ offers accelerated review options, take advantage where possible to speed the process (as seen in DC’s two-hour block sessions and similar approaches elsewhere).
  • Adjust design or add clarifications as needed to satisfy the AHJ’s interpretation of code requirements.

Step 6: Permit issuance

  • Upon plan approval, obtain the TI permit and schedule on-site work.
  • Note permit validity periods—some jurisdictions, like Harris County, specify a six-month permit validity window.

Step 7: Construction and on-site inspections

  • Conduct pre-construction or pre-inspection walkthroughs to verify that the site is prepared for inspection.
  • Coordinate with the AHJ for required inspections of various life-safety systems (egress modifications, fire alarm changes, sprinkler and suppression modifications, etc.).
  • Address any noncompliant items promptly and reschedule as needed.

Step 8: Final inspection and CO

  • Ensure all systems are tested and active, and that occupancy is ready for CO issuance.
  • Maintain documentation for ongoing compliance, including any modifications or updates during operations.

Step 9: Post-occupancy obligations

  • Establish a routine for ongoing maintenance and inspections of life-safety systems.
  • Keep as-built drawings up to date, reflecting any post-occupancy changes that affect life safety.
  • Practical insight: TI projects benefit from a cross-functional “TI readiness” checklist that mirrors the steps above, with assigned owners and due dates. The checklist should be reviewed at design sign-off and updated as work progresses.

Documentation, plans, and pre-inspection readiness

A robust documentation package is the backbone of TI approvals. Here are the elements that typically make up a complete TI submittal, along with practical tips to avoid common gaps.

Key documentation components

  • Architectural floor plans showing new space configuration and egress routes
  • Fire separation details for new walls and penetrations
  • Measured life-safety drawings for existing and revised systems
  • Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) interfaces and potential conflicts
  • Fire alarm and detection drawings, zones, and devices relocation or addition
  • Fire suppression system modifications (sprinklers, standpipes, suppression devices)
  • Occupancy loads and egress calculations (where required)
  • Equipment schedules and clearances around life-safety devices
  • Documentation of tested assemblies and listings for fire-rated elements

Pre-inspection documentation

  • As-built drawings reflecting changes
  • System certifications for alarm, detection, and suppression (where applicable)
  • Verification of code-compliant penetrations and fire-stopping components
  • Photos or video walk-throughs showing critical changes
  • A single-point contact for the AHJ and a dedicated TI lead on site

Practical tips to minimize rework

  • Run an internal “pre-submittal review” with the TI team, architect, and fire protection contractor to catch issues before submission.
  • Use a standardized submittal package that mirrors the AHJ’s checklist, reducing the chance of missing documents.
  • Schedule a pre-inspection with the AHJ where available to confirm readiness before the final inspection.
  • Real-world impact: When the submittal package is complete and precise, plan-review cycles shorten, and inspections proceed with fewer back-and-forth clarifications. This has a direct impact on occupancy dates and project budgets.
  • Citations in context: The DC plan-review acceleration and the SF over-the-counter plan check illustrate how jurisdictions can abstractly reward thorough submittals and proactive readiness. See the DC and SF references for deeper context. [DC Plan Review](https://dob.dc.gov/page/plan-review) [SF Plan Check](https://sf-fire.org/services/plan-check)

Budgeting for TI fire safety compliance

A TI project’s costs aren’t limited to new equipment and labor. The life-safety compliance portion includes design validation, plan reviews, inspections, and potential rework if changes are required by the AHJ. A practical budgeting approach includes:

  • Contingency for plan-review iterations and rework
  • Fees associated with plan review, permits, and inspections
  • Equipment costs for life-safety system changes (alarm, detection, sprinklers, flame detectors, etc.)
  • Costs for fire-rated assemblies and penetrations (firestop, protection, and testing)
  • Documentation and commissioning costs (test reports, commissioning checklists)
  • Project-management overhead for coordinating AHJ interactions
  • Quick budgeting tip: Build a schedule of likely review turnarounds (e.g., 10–15 business days for plan review) into the project timeline and budgeting. If you anticipate expedited review options (where available), factor those into the plan; they may come at a premium but reduce occupancy delays.
  • Note: The Harris County timeline (15-business-day plan review) and the six-month permit validity are meaningful anchors for budgeting and scheduling. [Harris County TI Guidance](https://oce.harriscountytx.gov/About/Divisions/Permits/Permits-A-to-Z/Small-Tenant-Improvement-Tenant-Space)
  • Grounding in standards: NFPA standards provide the baseline for anticipated costs and scope; reference life-safety requirements in your budget planning and coordinate with your fire protection consultant for a realistic estimate. [NFPA 101 Life Safety Code](https://www.nfpa.org/Codes-and-Standards/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=101)

What to expect on inspection day

On inspection day, bring discipline, documentation, and a willingness to adapt. The following expectations help teams stay aligned with AHJ practices.

What inspectors typically look for

  • Verified egress paths are unobstructed and clearly illuminated
  • Provisions for occupant safety remain intact during construction
  • Fire barriers and penetrations meet tested assembly criteria
  • Alarm and detection devices are correctly located, programmed, and supervised
  • Fire suppression systems are properly installed, tested, and compatible with the revised layout
  • Occupant loads and ejector or storage configurations do not alter egress or fire protection obligations
  • Fire-rated assemblies and closures remain intact (doors, walls, floors) and properly rated for fire separation
  • Exit signage and emergency lighting are in place and functional
  • Temporary fire protection measures are in place and adequate for the duration of TI work

Checklist-type on-site readiness

  • [ ] All required plan documents on-site (plans, specifications, cut sheets)
  • [ ] As-built drawings reflecting changes
  • [ ] System verification reports (alarm, detection, suppression)
  • [ ] Fire-stopping and penetrations properly installed and documented
  • [ ] Egress routes free from obstructions and clearly marked
  • [ ] Temporary fire protection in place (if construction requires it)
  • [ ] Signage and emergency lighting functioning
  • [ ] A designated TI lead on-site to coordinate with the AHJ
  • Pro tip: If possible, request a pre-inspection with the AHJ to identify issues and address them before the final inspection. Having a dry run can significantly reduce surprises and rework.
  • Benefit: A smooth inspection day reduces delay risk, supports occupancy date commitments, and provides a clear path to CO issuance.
  • Source context: The plan-review acceleration option in DC highlights how proactive scheduling and engagement with the AHJ reduces time-to-approval, illustrating how a well-managed inspection day contributes to project momentum. [DC Plan Review](https://dob.dc.gov/page/plan-review)
