Parking lot guardrails and lighting in Boca Raton
- The electrical inspection may also document emergency lighting, exit lighting, site lighting and egress pathway illumination, and concerns go to the building official to take up with the fire official.
- The guidelines list railings, guardrails and balcony and terrace enclosures among the facade items the engineer examines, and unpermitted balcony enclosures must be identified and legalized before the building can be recertified.
- The guidelines single out underground and lower-level garages, citing low ground elevation, a shallow and rising water table, porous ground and a corrosive coastal environment, and add an inspection of how the garage has been maintained.
- Citing NIST's preliminary findings on Champlain Towers South, the guidelines ask engineers to look closely at deck slabs, plaza decks, columns and transfer members for signs of distress such as efflorescence.
- The program covers condo and co-op buildings three stories or more, or 50 feet or more in height, and it counts uninhabitable stories such as underground parking toward that height.

Frequently asked questions
Are parking lot guardrails and lighting checked in Boca Raton?
The electrical inspection may also document emergency lighting, exit lighting, site lighting and egress pathway illumination, and concerns go to the building official to take up with the fire official. Where a lot runs beside water, guardrails are worth checking whatever the local form says.
Does a two-story building over a parking garage count in Boca Raton?
Boca's program counts uninhabitable stories such as underground parking when deciding whether a building is three stories or 50 feet, so it may be covered even if the state law would not count those levels.
What reports does Boca Raton want?
Structural and electrical safety reports that follow the city's checklists, with the 30 Year Inspection Coversheet, photos and payment.
