40-Year & Building Recertification Repairs

Miami-Dade and Broward have run building recertification for decades, and the trigger in Miami-Dade now starts at 30 years from the original certificate of occupancy, with re-inspection every 10 years after. The county sends the owner a notice of required recertification. What follows is an engineer's structural and electrical inspection - and then, usually, repairs.

The sequence

Notice arrives. Engineer inspects. Report lists deficiencies. Repairs are permitted and completed. Engineer signs. The building department closes the recertification. The middle step is the one that takes real time and real money, and it is where we work.

If your case is already in enforcement

Buildings sitting past their date with an open case are not a lost cause, but they do need a permit pulled and visible progress. That is usually what changes the conversation with the building department.

Licensed and permitted. Work is performed under Florida Certified General Contractor licence CGC #1540717, permitted and inspected.

Questions we get asked

Our recertification has been open for years. Is that a problem?

It is common, and it is fixable. What the building department wants to see is a permit and movement.

Do you pull the permit?

Yes, as the licensed contractor of record - CGC #1540717.
