Florida law requires milestone inspections to ensure the structural integrity of aging condominium and cooperative buildings. These inspections are vital to identifying structural deterioration and safeguarding occupants. Requirements include:
First milestone inspection by the time the building turns 30 years old, followed by inspections every 10 years.
Inspections are required once the building reaches 25 years of age and every 10 years thereafter.
These inspections, governed by Florida Statute 553.899, focus primarily on the building’s structural components, ensuring the safety and longevity of these properties.
At Prema Consulting Group, we tailor our milestone inspections to meet Florida’s compliance standards and regulations. The structural components inspected include the foundations, roofs, floor and roof systems, steel and concrete framing systems, windows and doors, masonry-bearing walls, structural glazing, and building facade.
We assess these components to ensure load-bearing capacity, evaluate material deterioration over time, and ensure compliance with safety standards.
