What is Chief's Regulation 4?

Chief's Regulation 4 is a mandatory requirement by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). It requires owners of commercial and multi-family residential buildings to have their fire protection systems tested annually by a certified tester.

Unlike routine maintenance, this is a performance test. The results must be submitted directly to the Fire Department via The Compliance Engine (Brycer). Failure to complete this testing can result in costly fines and legal liability.

Schedule: We coordinate with your tenants to find a convenient time.

Certify: We submit your results to the LAFD to secure your compliance.
