FAQ Section
What is a milestone inspection in Florida?
A milestone inspection is a mandatory structural evaluation for condominiums and cooperatives 3+ stories tall and 30 years old (25 years if within 3 miles of coastline) to ensure structural safety under Florida SB 4-D.
Who needs a milestone inspection and when?
Buildings meeting the age and height criteria must complete Phase 1 inspections within 180 days of notification and Phase 2 inspections if structural deterioration is detected.
