Certmill's database lists 4 requirement types for Houston, including boiler inspection, elevator inspection, fire protection itm, backflow testing. Every rule cites the official agency page, and cities inherit their state's requirements automatically.
Check the requirement cards on this page: any facade or exterior wall rule shows its trigger (usually a story or height threshold), cycle, and the official ordinance source. Certmill adds facade requirements automatically for buildings of 7 or more floors.
Add the building in Certmill, pick Houston, and check the equipment you run. The requirements expand into a deadline calendar with countdowns, 60-day alerts, and an evidence binder PDF.
