Passed by the Council of the District of Columbia, The Department of Buildings Establishment Act of 2020 became law on October 1, 2021, and started the process of establishing two new agencies, which will begin service to the District at midnight on October 1, 2022.

These new agencies, the Department of Buildings (DOB) and the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP), will serve residents, businesses, and visitors of the District of Columbia, taking on responsibilities previously under the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs’ (DCRA) purview. This transition will allow each agency to enhance their consumers’ experiences through promoting their health, safety, and quality of life.

Within their respective areas of responsibility, DOB and DLCP will deliver effective compliance, meaningful regulation, and timely maintenance, putting consumer protection at the forefront of their improved operations.

We are currently seeking talented professionals who possess a relevant skill set and a strong desire to serve the residents and businesses of the District, to increase our ability to better serve our customers as we expand into the soon-to-be established Department of Buildings and Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection.
