The short answer
Concrete restoration in Hollywood follows the findings of the local inspection, and we line up the repair scope, permits and contractor once the engineer's report is in. For conditions that threaten life or safety, permits are due within 180 days of the report. Balconies, decks, garages and guardrails fall inside the BORA policy Hollywood follows.

How we handle concrete restoration in Hollywood
When a Hollywood report finds conditions that threaten life, health or safety, the owner has 180 days from the report date to obtain the permits. We use that window to settle the repair scope and contractor, so the permit application goes in with drawings that match the engineer's findings.[1]

How does a restoration project run?
- The engineer's report identifies the deterioration and recommended repairs.
- A Florida-licensed engineer prepares repair drawings and specifications, often the engineer who did the inspection.
- Qualified restoration contractors bid on the same scope, each disclosing any interest in the inspection firm as the statute requires.
- The contractor obtains permits from the local building department.
- Repairs proceed in phases, usually stack by stack, with shoring where the engineer requires it.
- The engineer observes the work, and the building department inspects and closes the permits.
What deadlines apply to repairs?
The state sets the outer limit of 365 days from the Phase 2 report for repairs to commence, and each county or city must adopt its own repair ordinance. Fort Lauderdale's program allows 180 days from the safety report unless the Building Official sets otherwise, and the City of Miami gives 60 days after filing a recertification report to obtain repair permits without a violation.[4][5][6]
Who may bid on the repairs?
Any design professional or contractor licensed under chapter 489 who bids on repairs recommended by a milestone inspection may not have an interest in the inspection firm, or be a relative of someone who does, unless it is disclosed to the association in writing. Without the disclosure, the contract is voidable.[4]
