Discussions on Existing Building Maintenance & Inspections

  • Following the Surfside Condo Collapse in Florida, the Code Council took the lead—in conjunction with the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) and the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS)—to convene a panel in West Palm Beach. Participants discussed maintenance and inspections of existing buildings.
  • Following the discussion, the Code Council drafted a protocol to assist jurisdictions in ensuring the safety of existing buildings.
  • The Ensuring the Safety of Existing Buildings in Florida: Codes, Standards, and Inspections Guide provides criteria to be followed regarding inspections and can be used on a voluntary basis.
  • In December 2021, the Code Council hosted a virtual discussion on existing building maintenance and inspection, a follow up to the West Palm Beach discussions, and included a question-and-answer session with attendees.
  • The event was attended by over 600 people and produced key takeaways that will be used in the development of non-mandatory guidelines for building safety professionals and jurisdictions.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
  • Read the Open Letter to Building Safety Professionals
