Your Building's
40-Year Deadline
After the Surfside tragedy, Florida's building recertification requirements are stricter than ever. Alzate Construction has the engineering expertise and construction capability to guide your property from assessment through full structural rehabilitation — on time and on code.
The Surfside Collapse Changed Everything
On June 24, 2021, Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida collapsed without warning, taking 98 lives. The investigation revealed decades of deferred structural maintenance. In response, Florida enacted SB 4-D, mandating stricter 40-year recertification inspections and milestone inspections for condominiums and cooperatives statewide. If your building is approaching its 30th or 40th anniversary, the clock is ticking. Non-compliance can result in fines, condemnation, or worse — putting residents at risk.
