Outside the SFRA, so the window runs past sunset too.
Towson measures 38.3 NM from the DCA VOR/DME — outside the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area, so no SFRA procedures apply at the parcel. On parcels verified outside the boundary, night capture is a lawful Part 107 operation, and thermal contrast is strongest in the hours after sunset. We confirm the position first, then fly radiometric thermal and high-resolution visual capture across 100% of the surveyed surface.

Towson sits outside the DC SFRA at 38.3 NM from the DCA VOR/DME, so the standing UAS security NOTAM that governs our work closer to Washington does not reach this town. No SFRA procedures apply at the parcel. Outside the SFRA, night operations are lawful Part 107 flights with anti-collision lighting visible for at least three statute miles and a remote pilot current under the applicable training and testing requirement — no waiver required. Night scheduling applies to parcels verified outside the boundary, and every parcel is checked before a date is set.

What we inspect in Towson.
University and medical campus buildings
The county seat's institutional core. Towson University and the hospital campus carry some of the largest and most heavily serviced roof assemblies in the county — long-span roofs where a partial tear-out is the expensive outcome, and where aerial thermal scopes the affected area by section before anyone budgets for it.
Office and medical buildings
The mid-rise and low-rise commercial core around the county seat. Occupied floors mean nobody wants a crew on the roof during business hours — capture runs entirely from outside the building, and the finding arrives with the measurement attached.
Multifamily and apartment buildings
Apartment stock across the Towson corridor, where roof condition is a capital line the owner inherits rather than a maintenance ticket. One pass produces a comparable record across every building in the portfolio instead of one roof at a time.
Retail and mixed-use roofs
Street-level retail and mixed-use buildings where a leak over a tenant space turns into a lease conversation. Thermal locates the wet section before anyone argues about where it is.
Residential communities
Established neighborhoods and planned communities around the county seat. One pass produces a reserve-study-grade record for boards deciding where next year's roof budget goes, with no personnel on any membrane.

We come back with the parcel's position relative to the SFRA boundary, the authorization picture that applies, and whether night capture is available on it — before anyone talks about scheduling.
Towson, answered.
Towson is outside the DC SFRA. What does that change?
Two things. No SFRA procedures apply at the parcel level, and night capture is available on parcels verified outside the boundary. The scheduling picture is wider here than it is for our SFRA localities, because the UAS security NOTAM that shapes flights closer to Washington does not reach this town. Your parcel still gets its own check before we set a date.
Can you fly at night in Towson?
On parcels verified outside the SFRA, yes — night operations are lawful Part 107 flights with anti-collision lighting visible for at least three statute miles and a remote pilot current under the applicable training and testing requirement. No waiver is required. Thermal contrast is strongest in the hours after sunset, which is when sub-surface moisture separates most cleanly from dry insulation. It applies parcel by parcel: the check comes first, and the boundary is the gate.
Can you keep watch on the property overnight?
No, and we are deliberate about that. Jinki flies scheduled inspection missions; your night coverage stays with your guards and cameras. What we add is a repeatable condition record — the same surfaces captured the same way — so change between missions is measurable rather than argued about.
What altitude will you fly over our building?
The ceiling your parcel's authorization allows, or Part 107's 400-foot limit, whichever is lower. We do not publish a single town ceiling for Towson — the parcel is checked at its centroid and corners, and altitude resolves through the authorization path rather than a quoted town figure.
Our building is occupied all day. Can you work around that?
Yes. Capture runs entirely from outside the building — no ladders, no penetrations, no personnel on the membrane, and no scaffolding or swing stage against the facade. On a campus or a medical building that means the inspection does not need to enter anyone's schedule, and findings arrive written as scope, with the image pair behind each one.
Who acts on what you find, and do you publish it?
Your own contractors and maintenance team. Jinki inspects only and performs no remediation, so the report carries no conflict of interest, and every finding arrives with the image pair and measurement attached. You get a mutual NDA by default, and we do not publish client sites, tenant names, or findings.
