building subject to recertification is situated or, in the case of condominium
or cooperative type of ownership, shall mean the person or entity

required to be recertified, the Building Official shall establish a completion
schedule for recertification, which shall be based upon factors that may
include, but shall not be limited to, the age, location, construction materials,
occupancy load, and function of a building. This completion schedule shall

certified mail, to the Owner of each building required to be recertified
pursuant to subsection (1) above, not less than one hundred and eighty (180)
days prior to the scheduled deadline for the filing of a phase one milestone
inspection report. In the event that the Notice of Required Inspection is
Page 36
Proposed Ordinance
Page 5 of 10
returned unclaimed, said Notice shall be posted by the Building Official at
the building. Failure to receive notice of any required inspection shall not
relieve the Owner of its obligations pursuant to this section.
(b) The Owner or Owners of a building or structure subject to recertification
shall submit, or cause to be submitted, to the Building Official, no later than
the recertification deadline, a phase one milestone inspection report ("Phase
One Report"). If the qualitative assessment set forth in the Phase One
Report reveals no signs of substantial structural deterioration to any
building components under visual examination, no phase two milestone
inspection report shall be required, provided, however, that the Owner must
still correct any major or critical deficiencies in the electrical system within
the recommended timeframe.
(c) Inspections of threshold buildings shall be performed by a certified special
inspector of threshold buildings (a professional or structural engineer or
architect registered in the State of Florida and qualified by training and
experience). Inspections of association buildings may be performed by a
licensed architect or engineer registered in the State of Florida or a team of
professionals with an architect or engineer acting as a registered design
profession in responsible charge with all work and reports signed and sealed
by the appropriate qualified team member. All reports shall bear the name,
business address, State of Florida registration number, and impressed or
electronic seal and signature of the certified special inspector, engineer or
architect who has performed the inspection. Electronically signed and
sealed documents shall meet all applicable statutory and administrative
code requirements.
(d) If any substantial structural deterioration is identified in the Phase One
Report, the Owner shall be required to undergo a phase two milestone
inspection and file a phase two milestone inspection report (“Phase Two
Report”). Wwithin one hundred and eighty (180) days after submitting the
Phase One Report, the architect or engineer performing the Phase Two
Report must submit a phase two progress report to the Building Official
Page 37
Proposed Ordinance
Page 6 of 10
with a timeline for completion of the phase two inspection. The Phase Two
Report shall note the location address and property control number of the
building, describe the type of construction and general characteristics of the
building (including but not limited to total floor area, height and number of
stories, building footprint and similar characteristics), the existence of
drawings and location thereof, history of the building to the extent
reasonably known, and describe the type and manner of the inspection,
noting areas any issues of concern, and shall include recommendations for
repairs required to maintain the structural integrity of the building, and the
estimated time of completion of said repairs or modifications. The Phase
Two Report must take into account two basic structural considerations: (1)
movement of structural components with respect to each other; and (2)
deterioration of materials and any effect on the structural integrity of the
building. The Phase Two Report shall include the manner in which the
inspection occurred of the following structural elements, as applicable:
foundation, masonry bearing walls, steel framing system, floor systems,
roof systems, concrete framing systems, windows, wood framing, and
loading. The Town is not mandating any particular inspection method;
however, the Phase Two Report shall discuss the use or non-use of the
standard structural inspection methods and the reasoning behind their use
or non-use. These methods may include, but not be limited to: the visual
examination method; the testing method; and the manual (forensic
inspection) method. For major structure elements such as foundations,
masonry bearing walls, steel framing systems, roof systems, and concrete
framing systems, manual (forensic inspection) methods, such as chipping
small areas of concrete and surface finishes for closer examination, are
strongly encouraged.
(e) The use of the manual (forensic inspection) method for certain structural
elements as encouraged above shall be documented by photographic or
other similar evidence, which shall be included in the Phase Two Report.
(3) Building Official Review of Phase Two Report.
Page 38
Proposed Ordinance
Page 7 of 10
Once the Phase Two Report has been submitted to the Building Official, the
Building Official will perform an administrative review of the Report to determine
whether it satisfied the requirements of this section. The Building Official will not
review or otherwise assess the architect or engineer’s technical findings. If the
Building Official determines that the Phase Two Report does not satisfy the
requirements of this section, the Owner shall make any changes to the Phase Two
Report as needed and resubmit it no later than thirty (30) days after the Building
Official's determination. The Phase Two Report may be resubmitted in this manner
up to two (2) additional times after the initial submission until the Phase Two
Report is determined to have satisfied the requirements of this section. If the
Building Official determines after a third submittal that the Phase Two Report does
not satisfy the requirements of this section, this shall be a deemed a failure to submit
the require recertification inspection report, and shall subject the Owner to the
remedies prescribed in subsection (5) of this section. The Building Official’s
determination shall be in writing and shall be provided to the Owner via certified
and first-class mail.
(4) Timeframe to Make Repairs or Modifications.
The Owner shall correct all major or critical structural or electrical deficiencies
identified in the Phase Two Report in accordance with the inspector’s
recommended timeframe. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all repairs shall be
completed within a maximum of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the
date the Building Official accepts a complete Phase Two Report satisfying the
requirements of this section. Once the repairs or modifications have been
completed, the inspector or shall reinspect the areas noted on the original report and
shall provide the owner a signed and sealed letter stating that the repairs or
modifications have all been completed. The owner shall submit that letter to the
Building Official. Depending on the scope of work, the Building Official may grant
extensions to the either the recommended or maximum timeframes to allow the
work to be completed in phases or when justified by the totality of the
circumstances. and no I request for extension shall be unreasonably denied. The
Building Official’s decision regarding an Owner’s request for an extension shall be
Page 39
Proposed Ordinance
Page 8 of 10
in writing and provided to the Owner via certified and first-class mail. If, at any
time, the Building Official determines that structural and/or electrical deficiencies
exist that present an immediate danger to human life or safety, the Building Official
may take such actions determined necessary pursuant to Section 116 of this chapter
regarding Unsafe Structures and Equipment, regardless of the procedural
requirements or timeframes specified in this section.
(5) Failure to Submit a Recertification Inspection Report or Timely Make
Repairs/Modifications.
In the event the owner fails to submit any required report by the specified deadline,
fails to make changes and resubmit the Phase Two Report within the required
timeframes upon a determination that the Phase Two Report does not satisfy the
requirements of this section, or fails to complete (subject to all required permits)
any major or critical repairs or modifications within the required timeframes, the
Building Official may seek an order of enforcement through the Town’s code
enforcement process or any other legal or equitable remedy provided by law. The
Building Official may extend the date by which a building’s phase one milestone
inspection must be completed upon a showing of good cause by the owner or
owners of the building that the inspection cannot be timely completed if the owner
or owners have entered into a contract with an architect or engineer to perform the
milestone inspection and the inspection cannot reasonably be completed before the
deadline or other circumstances justify an extension.
(6) Appeals.
The Building Official’s written determination, after three submittals, that the Phase
Two Report submitted pursuant to subsection (3) above did not satisfy the
requirements of that section and/or the Building Official’s written denial of an
extension to the requested timeframe for completion of repairs or modifications
pursuant to subsection (4) above shall be final, subject only to the filing of a Petition
for Writ of Certiorari in the Circuit Court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida
within thirty (30) days of the date of the written determination or written denial.
