By December 31, 2024, Florida condo boards must complete structural integrity inspections and financial reserve studies as required by new safety laws following the Surfside tragedy. Allison L. Hertz, a shareholder in Becker’s Community Association Practice, spoke with the CBS12 News Investigative Team to discuss the final stretch to the deadline. She estimates at least 80-90% of buildings in Florida are already in compliance.
“I don’t think anyone is going to be forced out of their building for non-compliance with reserve funding,” Hertz said, referring to the December 31 deadline.
The Florida legislature plans to revisit the regulations in March to address their impact on owners statewide.
