Florida Condominium Laws Before & After Surfside: A Guide For Owners Shortly after midnight on June 24, 2021, part of the Champlain Towers South condominium in Surfside, Florida collapsed without warning. This tragedy claimed 98 lives and stunned the nation. In its aftermath, Florida officials and lawmakers faced a harsh reality: condominium safety regulations had serious gaps. For decades, many condo buildings aged without thorough structural check-ups or adequate repair funds, a problem that Surfside brought into stark focus. In response, Florida has overhauled its condominium laws, and Miami-Dade County has strengthened local building safety ordinances. This guide will walk Florida condo owners through what changed – comparing the rules before Surfside to the new requirements after Surfside – and explain what these changes mean in practical terms. We’ll cover new inspection schedules, reserve funding mandates, board responsibilities, and key deadlines, all in clear language (no legalese!) so you can understand how to keep your building safe and compliant.

Few topics in construction law are more controversial than Labor Law Section 240, better known as the Scaffold Law, which imposes absolute liability on contractors, property owners, and their agents for elevation-related injuries to construction workers.

The American dream of homeownership often begins with the rhythmic hammering and the scent of fresh lumber. Yet, in recent years, this foundational element of construction has become a significant hurdle, with soaring lumber prices casting a long shadow over the housing industry. From individual homeowners embarking on renovations to large-scale developers breaking ground on new communities, the increased cost of wood is having a profound and multifaceted impact across the United States. Understanding the factors driving these high prices, the region’s most acutely affected by shortages, and the intricate supply chains that bring lumber to our construction sites is crucial to navigating this evolving landscape.

A recent report has highlighted a concerning future for the New York metropolitan area’s housing landscape, predicting that approximately 80,000 homes could be lost to flooding within the next 15 years, specifically by 2040. This alarming projection underscores the increasing threat posed by climate change, including rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events such as coastal storms and intense rainfall. The study emphasizes that this potential loss of housing stock will significantly exacerbate the region’s already critical housing shortage, potentially pushing the deficit to an estimated 1.2 million homes.

The Florida State University Climate Center’s article on climate change outlines the scientific consensus that the Earth’s climate is warming unequivocally due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases. The article emphasizes the observed changes, including rising global temperatures, alterations in precipitation patterns, increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (like hurricanes and heatwaves), and, critically for Florida, rising sea levels.
