Florida Milestone Inspections & OSHA Subpart D

Florida Milestone Inspections & OSHA Subpart D

description What the milestone flags

Florida's Milestone Inspection law (FS 553.899) requires residential condos and co-ops three habitable stories or more to pass a structural inspection, and the reviewing engineer documents the exact conditions OSHA also cites — spalling walkways, corroded railings, failed waterproofing and loose rooftop anchors. The milestone report effectively hands you a list of Subpart D hazards in writing.

event The 30-year clock

The first milestone comes due by the year the building turns 30 (a local official may require it at 25 for buildings near salt water), then repeats every 10 years; in Miami-Dade and Broward the county building-safety recertification (which also covers electrical) applies on its own 25- to 30-year schedule. Once an engineer flags deficiencies, the repair plan carries its own deadline — and an unaddressed report is both a structural and an OSHA liability.

construction How we close the report

Concrete restoration is our core trade. La Gala self-performs the structural concrete, balcony, walkway, waterproofing and railing repairs the milestone requires — coordinated with your engineer — so the building passes recertification and clears the walking-surface hazards in one pass.
