When you submit an inspection report at a premises for a system type with outstanding deficiencies, you'll now be asked to review and action each one before you can submit.

For each outstanding deficiency, choose:

• Resolved — it's been fixed. The original closes out and won't carry forward.
• Still Deficient — it's still an issue. It's automatically carried forward to your new report (you can edit details if conditions changed), and both records are linked.
• Not Reviewed — you're intentionally skipping it. It stays outstanding and will come up again on future reports for that system type until it’s resolved.

Where you'll see it: In manual report upload, a warning appears before submit with a "Review Deficiencies" step. In AI report upload, outstanding deficiencies appear inline alongside AI-extracted findings, labeled "Outstanding from prior report," with the same action controls. Submission is disabled until every outstanding item has been actioned.

For full details, please see Deficiency Review & Transfer tutorial and video in our knowledge base.

We've cleaned up how inspection report fields are labeled throughout the platform. You'll now see "Report Type" (for Compliant/Deficient classification) and "Report Status" (for approval status) used consistently in tables, filters, and exports — no more confusing variations.

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.

We’ve released updates focused on improving report exports, edit workflows, and overall system reliability.

Report Exports & Downloads

• Fixed issues that caused images to be missing or inaccessible in downloaded inspection reports
• Improved reliability of report export links for records and public requests
• Ensured report downloads include all associated inspection data as expected

Editing & Data Consistency

• Improved consistency between view and edit screens for inspection and system details
• Added missing fields to edit views so information matches what is shown in read-only views
• Fixed cases where AHJ or system information did not display correctly for certain users
• Added all associated deficiency images to the deficiency details

Premises & Reporting Rules

• Prevented new inspection reports from being created under inactive or disabled AHJs
• Improved validation to ensure reports are only submitted in appropriate jurisdictions

Notifications & Email Behavior

• Improved reliability of automated notification jobs

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.
