Frequently Asked Questions

What is a milestone inspection in Florida?

A milestone inspection is a structural review required under Florida law for certain condominium and cooperative buildings to assess the condition of load-bearing components.

When is a milestone inspection required in Winter Park?

Condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or more in height must complete a milestone inspection based on the building’s age, as set by Florida SB 4-D requirements.

What is the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2?

Phase 1 is a visual structural assessment. If substantial structural deterioration is suspected, a Phase 2 inspection follows, which may include more detailed testing.

Who submits the milestone inspection report?

The licensed engineer or architect who performs the inspection prepares and submits the report to the local building official as required by law.

What happens if a building fails a milestone inspection?

If substantial structural deterioration is found, the association must address recommended repairs, which may involve additional engineering evaluation and monitoring.

Does a milestone inspection include a SIRS?

A milestone inspection and a Structural Integrity Reserve Study are separate but related requirements; EMA can support both processes.

How long does a milestone inspection take?

Timeframes vary based on building size, accessibility, and whether a Phase 2 inspection is needed after the initial Phase 1 assessment.

Condominium associations, cooperative boards, and property managers responsible for buildings that meet Florida’s height and age thresholds should schedule an inspection.
