FL-Mandated Milestone Inspections

milestone inspections

With a focus on occupant safety, our inspections identify structural and electrical safety issues before they become serious or life-threatening. FL Senate Bills 4D and 154 were designed to increase condominium and co-op safety. They require milestone inspections at 25 years for all structures within 3 miles of the coast and 30 years for all structures farther than 3 miles. Regardless of distance from the coast, inspections must be completed every 10 years after the original inspection. We recommend initiating inspections before reaching the mandated 25- or 30-year marks, thus providing condos and co-ops more time for financial planning.
