How we handle electrical recertification in Hollywood
Hollywood still files what many owners call the 40-year recertification, but the city now titles it the 25-Year or Older Building Safety Program and charges a $300 review fee. The owner hires the professionals, the reports go to the city within the window on the notice, and the BORA policy decides who signs the structural and electrical parts.[2][1]

What the electrical report covers
The professional inspects the building's electrical systems listed in the county's recertification guidelines and reports deficiencies that need repair. Larger systems also get infrared thermography, which uses a thermal camera to spot overheating connections. Ask the engineer which items your building's system size requires.[6][7]
