Ernest Chrappah

Ernest Chrappah is the founder of Infractions.ai, a pioneering proptech company that transforms how property managers handle housing code compliance through AI-powered automation.
As the former Director of Washington DC's Department of Buildings, Ernest led the city agency responsible for code enforcement, overseeing more than 180,000 inspections annually. Under his leadership, the department achieved a complete digital transformation, improving customer satisfaction from 31% to 87%, enhancing rental housing safety through the use of an inspection algorithm, and reducing permit processing times by 46%.
Drawing on his 15+ years of regulatory and technology expertise, as well as award-winning transformation strategies, Ernest now helps property management companies avoid costly fines (typically $20K-$500K annually), reduce compliance workload by up to 90 days on violation backlogs, and redirect resources from paying penalties to meaningful property improvements.

Every dollar spent on fines and penalties is one less dollar available for addressing underlying issues. We help property managers redirect resources from paying fines to making meaningful improvements.
