LIV Platform Release Notes - Jan 13, 2026

We’ve released updates to our application, fixing bugs and introducing new features.

Premises List & Detail Pages

  • Fixed sorting of the Premises List by Premises Name so it now works as expected both A-Z and Z-A.
  • Added ability to filter Premises List by Fire Watch Status.
  • Refined the System Types tab of the Premises Detail page to more clearly distinguish among:
    • Last Date of Service = date of the last known inspection performed outside of LIV, if known.
    • Inspection Date = date of the most recent inspection report for that system type uploaded into LIV.
    • Renewal Date = date the next inspection for that system type is due, calculated using the renewal plan of the system type and either the Last Date of Service (if the most recent known inspection occurred outside LIV) or Inspection Date (if the most recent known inspection was uploaded to LIV).

AHJ Price Lists

  • Fixed permissions-related issue which was preventing a small number of Inspection Company users from being able to view the report upload prices lists for the AHJs they serve.

Notifications & Email Behavior

  • Enhanced our Deficiency Notifications to allow users to specify multiple, comma-separated email addresses for additional recipients. This is supported both from the Deficiency List page as well as the Inspection Report Detail page.

These updates are part of our ongoing effort to make LIV more reliable, accurate, and easy to use for both AHJs and Inspection Companies. If you have any questions or notice anything unexpected, please reach out to our Support team.
