The short answer

Parking lot guardrails and lighting at Hollywood condos are checked against the local rules below, and we arrange the inspection and any permit for missing guardrails. Balconies, decks, garages and guardrails fall inside the BORA policy Hollywood follows. Hollywood inspects buildings at 25 years and every 10 years after, under its 25-Year or Older Building Safety Program.

How we handle parking lot guardrails and lighting 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]
