Building Safety Inspections in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Building recertifications in Fort Lauderdale are now carried out under the City’s Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP), which includes both structural and electrical safety inspections for qualifying buildings.
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 City for review, and address any deficiencies identified during the process.
Experienced Guidance Through Fort Lauderdale’s Building Safety Inspections
Building Mavens performs both the structural and electrical inspections required under Fort Lauderdale’s Building Safety Inspection Program.
Our South Florida-based team regularly works with the City of Fort Lauderdale and other Broward County municipalities. We understand the reporting requirements, review processes, and project coordination involved in Fort Lauderdale building recertifications and safety inspections.
Comprehensive Engineering Support Under One Roof
Our engineers help associations and property owners coordinate inspections, navigate reporting requirements, and move efficiently through the City’s review process from initial planning through final report submission.
Good to know: Our team includes a Certified Level II Thermographer, allowing us to perform infrared evaluations in-house when needed. This can help reduce delays, coordination challenges, and additional site visits during the inspection process.
What To Do After Receiving a Fort Lauderdale Inspection Notice
After receiving notice, Fort Lauderdale property owners and associations generally have 180 days to complete both required inspections and submit their reports. Taking action early can help avoid unnecessary scheduling pressure and compliance challenges.
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.
