Send us the notice — photo or PDF is fine. We decode every line into plain English, tell you which items are paperwork and which need a contractor, and give you a written correction plan ordered by your deadline.

Anything the inspector said out loud that is not written on the notice is often the most useful part.

The notice

If one is printed on the notice.

So we cite the edition your jurisdiction actually adopted.

Where we send the answer

We answer by email. Every reply lands on your request page and in your inbox — there is no phone queue, and nobody here will cold-call you.

Requests are answered by working compliance professionals — people who do this in the field, reading yours between their own jobs. That is why the answers are good and why they are not instant. If you need something this minute, ask Clara.

What you send stays between you and the Samektra reviewer working your request. We never publish your building, your notice, or your photos without asking you first. No account needed — you get a private link back.

Where the free part ends

The first read is genuinely free and there is no catch in it. If you want us to run the correction rather than just plan it, that is a quoted service — and here is what it is.

Samektra helps you respond to and coordinate correction of life-safety findings. We are not the authority having jurisdiction, we do not contest or appeal citations on your behalf, and nothing we provide is an engineering service or a legal opinion. Your AHJ’s determination governs, and licensed contractors remain responsible for the quality of their work. Deadlines printed on your notice always control — do not wait on us to meet one.

Common questions

How long do I have to correct a fire code violation in Georgia?

Whatever the notice says — the date printed on it governs. In practice Georgia re-inspections commonly land about 30 days out, and some jurisdictions give 14 days or fewer for life-safety-critical items. Never assume the longer window; read the notice and work backward from the re-inspection date.

What does the fire marshal need to see to close the violation?

Evidence, not assurances: dated photographs of the corrected condition, the test or inspection report showing the system passed, a signed certificate or service tag from the licensed contractor who did the work, and a written response tying each cited item to its correction.

Can you get my citation dismissed or appeal it for me?

No. We help you respond and coordinate the correction. We are not the authority having jurisdiction and we do not contest or appeal citations. Where an existing building has grounds to dispute a finding, that goes through your local governing authority’s appeals process — and usually through your attorney, not us.

What does it cost?

The first read is free — you get the decoded notice and the correction plan whether or not you hire anyone. If you want us to run the correction (scoping contractors, chasing the work, assembling proof for the inspector), that is a quoted service.

Do I need an account?

No. Send the notice and you get back a private link to your request. Create an account later if you want it saved to a profile.
