CERTIFICATION INSPECTIONS EXPLAINED:
In Florida, buildings undergo mandatory recertification inspections at specific age milestones 25, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years, with subsequent inspections every 10 years after the initial recertification. These inspections are crucial for ensuring structural and electrical safety, particularly in older buildings. The 40-year inspection is a prominent milestone, but other ages also trigger mandatory inspections.
The exact requirements for each recertification can vary by county and municipality, so it's essential to consult local regulations. For example, Miami-Dade County may have specific requirements for illumination studies and guard rail assessments.
The recertification process is designed to identify any potential structural or electrical issues that may have developed over time and ensure the building remains safe for occupancy.
