The short answer
Every condo and co-op building in Cape Coral follows the 30-year milestone trigger, because the city states that no building in Cape Coral is within three miles of the coastline. The city sends notice about 180 days before the due date, gives 180 days from the notice to complete Phase 1, requires repairs to begin within 365 days of the Phase 2 report and warns that penalties can go as far as liens (City of Cape Coral condominium inspections FAQ).
