What is likely happening
This is a compliance gap rather than a malfunction, but an expired certificate can mean penalties, a violation on the building, or an insurance problem. The fix is to get the required inspection done and filed.
What you can safely check
- Find the date and number on your last certificate or report.
- List every boiler, water heater and pressure vessel on site so nothing is missed.
What an inspector will look at
- All regulated boilers on site
- Safety devices and controls
- Filing with the authority having jurisdiction
Does this affect compliance?
Most US states and several cities require periodic boiler inspections by a commissioned inspector, with the report filed with the state or city.
When it becomes urgent
More urgent if you have already received a violation or notice.
