Before the Surfside collapse, the Miami safety board sided with building owners more than inspectors.
Miami-Dade inspectors have more than 1,000 buildings with overdue recertifications, Florin said, including commercial and industrial buildings. Not all of the cases will be heard by the Unsafe Structures Board, she said. Neither Crestview Towers nor Champlain Towers went before the board.
After a fire damaged a commercial building on Harbor Drive in Key Biscayne in 2017, the Unsafe Structures Board ordered the building's owner to repair or demolish it. It gave the owner 60 days to obtain a permit and 180 days to complete repairs, in April 2018. "I always put it on the property owner to tell us, if a building official says 180 days, how much time do you think you need?" Cueva said."Ultimately it became a debate about what's reasonable, how quickly can we get this structure into compliance given whatever the reality is of the scope of work that has to be done."
The building official recommended that the 40-year recertification be filed within 30 days and that repairs be completed in six months. If the county's demands were not met, it should demolish the structures"as soon as possible," he said.A majority of Unsafe Structures Board members disagreed. In a 7-2 vote, they gave the complex 60 to 170 days to recertify for soundness and eight months to a year to finish repair work.
