The short answer
The City of Orlando applies the milestone law to condo and co-op buildings 3 stories or taller, including condos within apartment communities. Inspections are due within 180 days of the city's certified letter, Phase 2 reports are emailed to the building official, and owners have 365 days to pull a repair permit after submitting (City of Orlando). The city page mentions both 30 and "25 or 30" years, so confirm the trigger with the building official.

Our condo units are in a former apartment complex. Do we need a milestone inspection?
Orlando's page says the requirement includes condos within an apartment community, as long as the building is 3 stories or taller.
Is Orlando 25 or 30 years?
The city page shows 30-year deadlines in one place and "25 or 30 years" wording in another. Confirm with the building official before relying on either.
