Fun Fact: When a building in Miami-Dade or Broward county celebrates its 40th birthday, it must be recertified by an engineer or architect to ensure its structural and electrical safety (after the 40-year mark, buildings must also be recertified every ten years thereafter).
Once a building hits the 40-year mark, it's due for this comprehensive inspection. Subsequent inspections are required every 10 years thereafter – such as the 50-year recertification and 60-year recertification. However, the 40-year Florida building inspection isn't the first inspection your building will undergo.
For more information on recertification submittals, call 786-315-2373 or email RER-Recertification@miamidade.
The Purpose of Recertification Inspections These inspections ensure that older buildings meet current safety and structural requirements, identifying any issues that may need repairs or updates to prevent potential hazards.
