Establish a repeatable method to check whether any given U.S. jurisdiction has a parking structure inspection mandate before relying on one

Steps

1. Start with the state legislature's own bill-tracking site (not aggregator blogs) and search current and recent session bills for 'parking garage,' 'parking structure,' or 'condition assessment' inspection language.
2. Separately check the state's building-code administration agency (e.g., department of state, department of community affairs, or equivalent) for any statewide rule analogous to New York's 19 NYCRR Part 1203.
3. Check the specific city/county's own municipal code library (Municode, American Legal, or the jurisdiction's own site) for a local ordinance, since local mandates (like NYC's) can exist independent of — or predate — any state law.
4. If nothing is found at state or local level, contact the local building department directly and ask whether any inspection mandate, voluntary program, or planned rulemaking applies to parking structures.
5. Document the check with the date, sources consulted, and a 'no mandate found as of [date]' conclusion rather than an unqualified 'no law exists' statement, since this area of law is actively evolving after high-profile structural failures.
