BALCONY INSPECTIONS CENTRAL & SOUTH FLORIDA

The Sunshine State has strict rules regarding inspections, which also apply to balconies in public properties such as apartment buildings, hotels, and condos.

The question is: do you need it?

If you are in charge of any properties we listed above that are three or more stories high, you might be well due for an inspection – especially if it’s been three years since the last one.

When working with professional inspectors at Guardian Angel Inspections, this process isn’t a big deal.

WHY IS BALCONY INSPECTION NECESSARY?

Balcony inspections are required by law for a good reason – they reduce the risk of accidents and help you ensure that all the safety features, as well as the structure are properly maintained. 

For instance, our inspectors will confirm that all the balconies on your property are free of any defects and are safe for public use. More importantly, we can make sure that your property is in compliance with balcony inspection requirements DBPR-HR-7020 “Division of Hotels and Restaurants Certificate of Balcony Inspection.” 

DO I NEED AN INSPECTION NOW?

If your property fits the following criteria, you should contact us sooner rather than later:

• Your building is at least three stories tall
• The balcony is more than 17 feet above grade
• The last inspection took place three years ago (according to The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, an inspection has to be conducted every three years which includes filling the Form HR-7020)
• There was a change in ownership of the building
