Violations
Understand violation records, exposure, and how to clear them.
When an asset misses its legal deadline, it becomes a violation. CompliCore tracks these strictly to help you quantify and mitigate your financial risk.
Becoming Expired
If an asset reaches its "Next Due Date" and no Inspection Log has been recorded, the system automatically transitions the asset's status to expired.
While no fines have been explicitly assessed yet, the asset is now legally non-compliant.
Calculating Fine Exposure
Once an asset is expired, it begins accumulating Fine Exposure.
CompliCore's engine calculates this automatically using the following formula:
Total Fine = Daily Fine Rate × Days Overdue (Capped at Maximum Fine)
We use explicitly mapped, jurisdiction-aware penalty schedules to ensure your risk profile is accurate:
Washington, D.C.
- Elevators: $500/day (Max $50,000)
- Boilers: $300/day (Max $25,000)
- Fire / Life Safety: $500/day (Max $50,000)
- Backflow Preventers: $100/day (Max $10,000)
Maryland
- Elevators: $250/day (Max $25,000)
- Boilers: $200/day (Max $15,000)
Virginia
- Elevators: $200/day (Max $20,000)
- Boilers: $150/day (Max $10,000)
(Note: BEPS penalties are handled differently and calculated via GFA. See the Compliance Assets article for BEPS formulas).
This Exposure is prominently displayed on your Dashboard and heavily influences your CapEx Forecasting.
Clearing Violations
To clear a violation and stop the fine exposure from accumulating:
- Dispatch a vendor to perform the required inspection.
- Once the work is complete, record an Inspection Log for that asset.
- The system will automatically "seal" the violation, zero out the active exposure, and calculate the next due date based on the date of your new log.
