Condo building safety (milestone and SIRS)
Your condo is dodging the milestone inspection or the reserve study it is required to have, or hiding the results. Here is the path Florida owners generally follow, one step at a time. You decide which steps to take.
-
1
Request the inspection and reserve records
Send a written records request for the milestone inspection reports and the Structural Integrity Reserve Study. These are official records you are entitled to see.
If they stall or the studies do not exist, demand compliance.
-
2
Demand compliance
Send a written demand that the association complete the required inspection or reserve study, or produce the results. Note that reserves for these items generally cannot be waived.
If the board still refuses, take it to the state.
-
3
File a DBPR complaint
Building-safety compliance is squarely within the DBPR's role. File a complaint so the state can compel the association to meet its obligations.
This is the end of the building-safety ladder.
