40 Year Structural & Electrical Inspections of Buildings, Miami, Broward & Palm Beach.

Fun Fact: 40 Year recertification Inspections for Structural & Electrical & Parking Inspections. When a building in Miami-Dade or Broward county celebrates its 40th birthday, it must be recertified by an engineer or architect to ensure its structural and electrical safety {after the 40-year mark, buildings must also be recertified every ten years thereafter).

What Types of Buildings Are Included?

Miami-Dade County, 40 year structural inspections apply to all buildings except for single-family homes, duplexes, and buildings that have an occupant load of 10 or less.

Broward County, it applies to all buildings except single-family homes, duplexes, those less than 3,500 square feet, and U.S. government or Florida state government buildings that are built on Indian reservations.

40 Year Structural Inspections. How Does Recertification Work?

When a building becomes forty years old, county or city code compliance officials send a Notice of Required Inspection to the property owner. Recertification dates are based on the anniversary of the original Building or Structure’s Certificate of Occupancy.

Property owners have 90 days from the date of notiﬁcation to have the property properly inspected. The outcome of the inspection will determine if the property will be recertified for another 10 years or if improvements need to be made before the recertification is granted. If repairs or improvements are needed, owners are given another 60 days to complete them.

Jon-compliance with the inspection notice or not completing required repairs can result in penalties.
