Construction Codes Coordinating Board (Sunset as of 2/10/26)

A Mayoral Order established the Construction Codes Coordinating Board (CCCB) in March 2009. The CCCB was charged with “reviewing and updating the Construction Codes for the District of Columbia to meet present-day demands for adequate and safe construction and maintenance of new and existing buildings and structures.” On  February 11, 2026, the DC Department of Buildings (DOB) was designated the new lead in construction code development in the District. As a result of this change, the CCCB has sunset and the District government thanks its board members for their dedicated service to the city.
