The short answer
State law requires repairs for substantial structural deterioration to start within 365 days of the Phase 2 report, and Hollywood adds its own permit and filing steps. For conditions that threaten life or safety, permits are due within 180 days of the report. Broward County reported 155 required Phase 2 inspections in 2025.

How we handle repairs after Phase 2 in Hollywood
Hollywood's beachfront and Intracoastal towers meet the state milestone law through the Broward program, which starts at 25 years. The detail to watch is the clock. The city's page gives 90 days from the Notice of Required Inspection, so we book the engineer as soon as the letter arrives rather than planning on the 180 days quoted elsewhere in Broward.[1][3]

Bids and disclosures
A design professional or chapter 489 contractor bidding on repairs recommended by the milestone inspection may not have an interest in the inspection firm, or be a relative of someone who does, unless that is disclosed to the association in writing. A contract signed without the disclosure is voidable. We collect these disclosures and pass them to the board with each bid.[4]
Paying for repairs
Owner-controlled associations that must have a SIRS may use a line of credit or loan for milestone repairs with a majority of the total voting interests, and for budgets adopted on or before 31 December 2028 may pause reserve contributions for up to two budgets to fund milestone repairs.[9]
