Send your jobsite photos and tracking list for a specialist review against Ohio Building Code and Dayton's local requirements.

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.
Does the report address Dayton's wind and tornado resistance requirements?
Yes. Dayton's location in a tornado-prone corridor means inspectors focus on roof-to-wall connections, gable-end bracing, garage door wind ratings, and storm shelter compliance. The report evaluates all structural wind resistance items against Ohio Building Code requirements.
What are Dayton's most common inspection fail items?
Missing hurricane tie-down clips, inadequate attic ventilation, electrical grounding deficiencies in older homes, and fire separation violations in garage conversions are among the most frequent Dayton inspection failures. Polybutylene water line replacement is also flagged.
How does proximity to Wright-Patterson AFB affect building permits in Dayton?
Projects near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base may face height restrictions, noise attenuation requirements, and airspace clearance reviews. The report notes if your project location falls within the base influence zone and flags applicable construction requirements.
What code cycle does Dayton currently enforce?
Dayton follows the Ohio Building Code, based on the 2017 ICC codes with state amendments. The city enforces additional local requirements around wind resistance and stormwater management. Post-tornado rebuilds may also be subject to updated construction standards.
Can I use the report for post-tornado rebuild work in Dayton?
Yes. The report is well-suited for tornado rebuild projects. It checks structural connections, wind resistance detailing, updated material requirements, and any code changes that apply when rebuilding a substantially damaged structure in Dayton or Montgomery County.
