- Free, no-obligation proposal
- Inspections by Florida-licensed engineers and architects
- Milestone, SIRS and recertification deadlines
The short answer
A SIRS may be completed alongside a milestone inspection due on or before 31 December 2026, so in Hollywood the timing of the local milestone notice decides the plan. Hollywood inspects buildings at 25 years and every 10 years after, under its 25-Year or Older Building Safety Program. Hollywood's page gives 90 days from the notice to complete the inspection.

Lining up the SIRS with the Hollywood milestone notice
- The city issues a Notice of Required Inspection, and its page gives the owner 90 days from receiving it to complete the inspection, shorter than the 180 days in BORA's policy text, so work to the date on your notice.
- After the Surfside collapse the city re-issued certified letters to the properties on its list, set up a Recertification Taskforce and assigned dedicated staff.
- BORA Policy 05-05, which Hollywood's program follows, counts the Broward safety inspection as compliance with both phases of the state milestone inspection.
How we handle a SIRS done with a milestone inspection in Hollywood
Because the Broward inspection covers electrical systems as well as structure, a recent Hollywood report already speaks to two of the items a SIRS must cover. We send the reserve professional the latest structural and electrical reports and any permits pulled for repairs so the study prices what the engineers found.[1][3]

How the two duties fit together
The milestone inspection is a structural safety inspection under s. 553.899, performed by a Florida-licensed architect or engineer and filed with the building official. The SIRS is a reserve study under s. 718.112(2)(g) that sets what owners must save. They look at the same building, so doing them together can save time, but they answer different questions and produce different reports.[3][4]
Reusing a recent milestone inspection
If the milestone inspection, or an inspection for a similar local requirement such as a county recertification, was performed within the past 5 years and meets the SIRS rules, it may be used in place of the visual inspection portion of the SIRS. The financial analysis and funding plan still have to be prepared.[3]
The 2-year delay and the 2026 outside date
Section 718.112(2)(g)9 lets an association that completes a milestone inspection delay a required SIRS for no more than the 2 consecutive budget years after it. Section 718.112(2)(g)7 says no SIRS may be completed after 31 December 2026. Ask your association attorney how the two apply to your building before relying on the delay.[3]

Frequently asked questions
Can our Hollywood SIRS be done with the milestone inspection?
The city issues a Notice of Required Inspection, and its page gives the owner 90 days from receiving it to complete the inspection, shorter than the 180 days in BORA's policy text, so work to the date on your notice. No SIRS may be completed after 31 December 2026, whatever the milestone date.
How long do we have after a Hollywood notice?
The city's page gives 90 days from receiving the Notice of Required Inspection to complete the inspection. Follow the date on your notice.
Is it 25 or 40 years in Hollywood?
The program started as Broward's 40-year program in 2005. The city now titles it the 25-Year or Older Building Safety Program and inspects buildings at 25 years and every 10 years after.
Did Hollywood send new letters after Surfside?
Yes. The city says it re-issued certified letters to the properties on its list and set up a Recertification Taskforce.
