40-Year Recertification

Why You Need A 40-year Recertification Inspection

You might be asking yourself why you need to do this 40-year inspection? The answer comes down to one word “safety”. These 40-year inspections are required by law and are enforced in order to keep buildings safe. These inspections contain a list of certain items that must be investigated and checked.

What do 40-Year Recertification Inspections Involve?

On the surface, the inspection is rather simple. But, Although seemingly straightforward, it takes an experienced professional to perform the inspection. That person must carefully inspect the property and properly identify the problems. The inspector can also provide you with valuable feedback as to the best way to perform the repairs.

Miami-Dade County

The Miami-Dade County ordinance requires that certain commercial buildings, condominiums and rental apartments must be inspected and recertified by a licensed professional engineer (or architect) when a building reaches 40 years old and at 10-year intervals thereafter. This ordinance does not apply to single-family and duplex residences or to minor buildings less than 2,000 square feet and occupancy of fewer than 10 persons (as defined by the Florida Building Code.) Failure to obtain recertification will result in loss of the certificate of occupancy for the building. Minimum inspection standards are established by the County.
