The short answer
The Orlando program asks for a structural inspection, but electrical systems are one of the items every SIRS must cover under s. 718.112(2)(g), so boards still need a sound electrical survey. Orlando's milestone page covers the structural inspection only, with no electrical or parking lot report. Orlando's rule covers condo buildings three stories or taller, including condos inside apartment communities.

How we handle electrical recertification in Orlando
The 40-year recertification is a South Florida program. In Orlando the local requirement is the milestone inspection for condo and co-op buildings three stories or taller, structural only on the city's page. Boards that want electrical or site items reviewed usually fold them into the SIRS.[1][3]

What the electrical report covers
The professional inspects the building's electrical systems listed in the county's recertification guidelines and reports deficiencies that need repair. Larger systems also get infrared thermography, which uses a thermal camera to spot overheating connections. Ask the engineer which items your building's system size requires.[3][6]

Frequently asked questions
Does Orlando require an electrical report or thermography?
The city's milestone page describes the structural milestone inspection only and does not mention electrical reports, thermography or parking lot items. Infrared thermography finds hot connections before they fail, and it gives the reserve study a firmer view of the electrical system.
Our condo units are in a former apartment complex. Do we need a milestone inspection in Orlando?
Orlando's page says the requirement includes condos within an apartment community, as long as the building is three stories or taller.
Is Orlando 25 or 30 years?
The city page shows 30-year deadlines in one place and 25 or 30 years in another. Confirm with the building official before relying on either.
