DCBIA is pleased to report that after several meetings with Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) senior officials, the following changes have been made to the Master Tradesman Bulletin:
1. Master Tradesman only has to be onsite after two consecutive failures of a rough-in inspection for specific scope of work under the trade permit.
2. DCRA inspector may require Master Tradesman to be onsite at subsequent inspections due to excessive or repeated code violations including, but not limited to unsafe work.

The Bulletin goes into effect on May 1 to allow time for all parties to follow new procedures.
