The short answer
The Orlando program page lists no parking lot guardrail or lighting certificate, so these items come up through the milestone inspection, the SIRS or the board's own safety review. 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.
