Milestone Structural Inspections

Florida Senate Bill 4-D requires condominium and cooperative buildings 3 stories or higher to undergo structural milestone inspections at 25 years of age (or 20 years if within 3 miles of the coast), and every 10 years thereafter. If your building meets these criteria, you must comply.

Phase One is a visual examination of the building's structural components. If Phase One identifies substantial structural deterioration, Phase Two is required, which may include destructive or non-destructive testing.

Buildings that were 30 years old or older as of December 31, 2024 had until December 31, 2025 to complete their milestone inspection. Buildings reaching 25 or 30 years must complete inspection by December 31st of the year they reach that age.

Milestone inspections must be performed by a licensed architect or engineer. Our drone surveys provide visual documentation that supports the licensed professional's assessment.

Failure to comply with SB-4D can result in fines, potential condemnation of the building, and significant liability issues for the association board. Additionally, the building may be unable to obtain certificates of occupancy for individual units.
