Free Deck Maintenance Inspections Over 180

The DPS extension of free deck maintenance inspections resulted in almost 200 requests and continues to climb. DPS inspectors are working hard to ensure residents are aware of the safety of their existing decks.
It's important to be sure that all contractors are licensed, and new decks are permitted to ensure their safety.
