GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
What additional requirements does Baltimore City have beyond the state building code?
Baltimore City enforces local amendments covering lead paint abatement, vacant building rehabilitation, combined sewer connections, and fire separation in attached dwellings. The city also has specific zoning overlay districts near the Inner Harbor and designated development areas.
Does the report cover Baltimore's lead paint requirements?
Yes. For any pre-1978 residential property in Baltimore, the report flags lead paint compliance obligations including risk assessments, abatement plans, and Maryland Department of the Environment registration requirements.
How much does the Baltimore Inspection Readiness Report cost?
The report costs $250 with results delivered within 24 hours. It covers all applicable building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection codes for your Baltimore project.
Are Baltimore rowhome renovations treated differently from new construction?
Renovations to Baltimore's rowhome stock trigger specific requirements for party wall integrity, fire separation upgrades, lead paint management, and structural assessment of shared walls that new detached construction does not face.
Does Code Buddy check Baltimore harbor area development rules?
The report reviews plans against Baltimore's waterfront overlay requirements including flood elevation, stormwater quality treatment, and any Urban Renewal Plan design standards applicable to harbor-adjacent parcels.
