NFPA 25 has had proposals to add sending a copy of the report to the
AHJ. It was rejected. Logistics was part of it since most of the
land mass in this country is unincorporated with no local AHJ per
se. The bottom line though, is that the owner is responsible for
maintaining their system and for doing all the maintenance. They hire
you to do some portion of that work so you work for the owner. Unless
your adopted ordinances say to send a copy to the AHJ, you report just
to the owner.

I just had a school district call me and yell at me for a report I
did. I conducted a water flow test 2 months ago at this school. The
water department and I observed that the PIV was shut. It had been
shut for the past 6 years.
Long story short the school asked me to open the valve and inspect
for other problems. I spent an entire day surveying the school and
wrote a 13 page report with pictures. Serious issues like rooms
missing sprinklers. Ceiling clouds missing sprinklers etc. No drains
or inspectors tests etc.
I sent a copy to the fire marshal and building dept. Well fed ex
delivered it to the fire marshal first and called the district
before they got their copy.
The school dist manager said that he emailed every school district
in the area advising them not to use us and is threatening to sue us
over sending a copy to the fire marshal.
