Reply to comment by alumni_audit in Do DC rental properties require GFCI outlets? by alumni_audit

I have a rental property and had to go through the bbl inspection a few months ago. The inspector failed the unit in the bathroom for not having GFCI and the Kitchen. I replaced the outlets with GFCI and then no problem in the second inspection . I might be wrong about the distance but not having one by a water source will likely fail you in the inspection. These guys aren’t walking around with rulers, my inspections were all virtual.

If you go to dc property search you can lookup if the property owner has a BBL. They should be a lot nicer to you if they don’t have one. They can’t even evict you without one among other things.

Sorry I don’t have a documented source but if you just call 311 they can direct you to the right office in DC. They live for that stuff, for real.

You look it up here. https://scout.dcra.dc.gov/login

Put there address in and you can see a lot of historical information. Status of their BBL should be there if they have one
