Florida SB 4-D (2022) — passed in direct response to the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside — requires milestone structural inspections at 25 and 30 years for buildings 3+ stories. The roof is a critical component of these inspections. Buildings that fail face millions in mandatory repairs, potential habitability issues, and significant liability exposure for board members.
For condo associations across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, this legislation has transformed roof maintenance from “we'll get to it eventually” to “we need a plan right now.” Associations that proactively address their roof before milestone inspections avoid emergency situations, get better pricing, and protect their residents and property values.
