Building Safety Inspections in Broward County, Florida
Building recertifications in Broward County are carried out under the Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP), which includes both structural and electrical safety inspections for qualifying buildings.
While Broward County establishes the inspection framework through its Building Safety Inspection Program, the program is administered locally by participating municipalities throughout the county. Cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, and Sunrise are responsible for issuing notices, reviewing reports, and overseeing compliance within their jurisdictions.
Buildings subject to the program generally receive official notices between June and August. After receiving notice, owners must coordinate the required inspections, submit engineering reports to the appropriate municipality for review, and address any deficiencies identified during the process.
Experienced Guidance Through Broward County’s Building Safety Inspection Program
Building Mavens performs both the structural and electrical inspections required under Broward County’s Building Safety Inspection Program.
Our South Florida-based team regularly works with municipalities throughout Broward County, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, and Sunrise. We understand the reporting requirements, review processes, and project coordination involved in building recertifications and safety inspections throughout the county.
Comprehensive Engineering Support Under One Roof
Our engineers help associations and property owners coordinate inspections, navigate reporting requirements, and move efficiently through the municipal review process from initial planning through final report submission.
Good to know: Our team also includes a Certified Level II Thermographer, allowing us to perform infrared evaluations in-house if additional investigation is warranted. This can help avoid the added coordination and extra site visits that sometimes occur when specialized thermal imaging services need to be brought in later in the inspection process.
What Happens After Receiving a Broward County BSIP Inspection Notice
After receiving notice, Broward County property owners and associations must generally complete the required inspections and submit their reports within the timelines established by the municipality administering the program.
Recommended next steps after receiving the notice:
- Review the notice and confirm deadlines.
- Select a qualified engineering team. Confirm the engineering team can perform both the structural and electrical inspections.
- Book the engineering team well in advance, as many buildings throughout Broward County enter the inspection process at the same time. Scheduling ahead can help provide greater flexibility and reduce the risk of delays when working toward required deadlines.
- Prepare access to roofs, balconies, garages, electrical rooms, and common areas.

If you’re unsure whether your building is subject to the program, consulting a qualified engineering team can help clarify the applicable requirements and timelines.

Submission timelines are established by the municipality administering the program. In many Broward County municipalities, building owners generally have 180 days after receiving notice to complete the required inspections and submit reports, but property owners should always confirm the specific deadline listed in their notice.
Inspection reports are submitted to the local municipality administering the Building Safety Inspection Program where the building is located. Depending on the city, reports may be submitted through an online portal, permitting system, or other municipal submission process. Building Mavens can assist clients with preparing and submitting the required engineering documentation as part of the inspection process.
If deficiencies are identified, the local municipality may require repairs, follow-up documentation, or additional engineering evaluations within specified timelines.
Building Mavens can support associations throughout this process, including repair recommendations, permit coordination, follow-up inspections, and the preparation of any required engineering documentation until the municipality has accepted the final reports and inspection requirements have been satisfied.
The Building Safety Inspection Program is based on Broward County requirements, but it is administered locally by each municipality. As a result, notice schedules, submission procedures, review processes, and contact information may vary between cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Sunrise, and others.
