Milestone Inspections for Miami-Dade County boards
A milestone inspection is the structural checkup Florida now requires for condominium and cooperative buildings three or more stories tall, generally at 30 years of age (and every 10 years after). The inspector reviews load-bearing walls, slabs, columns, waterproofing and life-safety systems. If Phase 1 finds substantial deterioration, a Phase 2 inspection with testing follows — and the repair clock starts.
The local picture: Miami-Dade holds the densest concentration of aging coastal high-rises in Florida — including the Surfside corridor where the modern compliance era began. Local enforcement in cities like Miami Beach, Sunny Isles and Surfside has been among the most active in the state on milestone filings.
