ACCURATE HOME INSPECTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INC. is a family owned and operated inspection company. We are proud to have completed over 11,600 inspections in the past fourteen years.

Our inspectors are state licensed, Internachi certified and insured.
A lawyer for the condo board said the board had assumed the engineer conducting the inspection had shared findings with the city, but that was apparently not the case. They were strengthened once more in the mid-1980s, after a condo complex in Cocoa Beach, which is about 60 miles east of Orlando, collapsed during construction, killing 11 workers. That change required developers to hire independent inspectors to monitor the structural integrity of multistory development projects as they progressed, but it was not in effect when Champlain Towers South was going up in 1981. In one such report, an engineer noted last year that several concrete support columns had deteriorated in the parking garage of Winston Towers 700, a 23-story condo building in Sunny Isles Beach built in 1980. Our inspection reports cover a vast amount of information and are narrated with pictures of each item listed giving you a complete pictorial reference of your home at time of purchase. Eleven of those towers were 12 stories or higher and built in the three years preceding the construction of Champlain Towers South.

We serve St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach and Indian River counties. Bay Harbor Islands, for one, has struggled to bring all of its buildings into compliance with the tough recertification rules. Fourteen structures were supposed to submit 40-year inspection reports in 2020. Even so, he noted, concrete spalling and corrosion of reinforcement metal in the pool’s pump room would require significant structural repairs. The city of North Miami Beach had tried and failed for years to bring a 10-story condo building within its borders, Crestview Towers, into compliance with the 40-year recertification requirements. When the building’s condo association finally submitted the required paperwork last week, about nine years late, it documented critical safety concerns, a city spokesman said.
In North Miami Beach, where Crestview Towers was evacuated on Friday, the city said it had fined the building for noncompliance repeatedly, though it was not clear whether it had ever collected any money from the property. Florida’s high-rise building regulations have long been among the strictest in the nation. But after parts of Champlain Towers South tumbled down on June 24, killing at least 24 people and leaving 121 unaccounted for, evidence has mounted that those rules have been enforced unevenly by local governments, and sometimes not at all. The collapse of the 40-year-old, 13-story Champlain Towers South has focused intense scrutiny on high-rise buildings of the same era.

On Sunday, officials demolished the remainder of the building as a tropical storm bore down on Florida from the Caribbean. At least one local government, the village of Key Biscayne, was opting to conduct no extra inspections at all, an official there said.

& TERMITE INSPECTION
But the county’s own records show that 17 of those cases had been open for a year or more. Two cases were against properties owned by the county itself. One property appeared to be more than seven years late in filing.
My training is in Industrial Engineering and their answers to my questions indicated a high degree of inspection competence and experience. Over the years I’ve dealt with a number of home inspection services and Accurate Home Inspectors is by far the best. He was on time, professional and really helped make the whole experience simple. He was very thorough and reviewed everything with me at the end of the inspection.
EXTERIOR
With this being my first home purchase, she eased a lot of worries and helped me out with everything. The report was very thorough and included pictures, circled concerns in the photos, in depth findings on reports, and summarized all concerns at the end. It also categorized whether something was a major/minor problem, and possible remedies to fix. The building footprint data was last updated in April 2019, and some buildings in the data may no longer exist. For some recent large developments, The Times manually added those buildings to the data.
The collapse of Champlain Towers South has prompted a review of hundreds of older high-rises. Some buildings ignored or delayed action on serious maintenance issues.

Six of those never responded to notices, records show. The town sent certified letters to three property owners, but the letters were returned. Four other buildings submitted reports but were rejected because the buildings needed to do more work.
Grand jury inquiries through the 1980s and 1990s documented slipshod work by Miami-area building inspectors, though much of that scrutiny focused on inspections of single-family homes. Other criminal investigations have singled out government employees for taking gifts from developers, including, most recently, the top building official in Miami Beach. Even if building auditors focus only on towers of 10 stories or more that were built in the 1970s and 1980s, the task would still be daunting.
Others rose during an era of explosive growth in the 1950s and 1960s. Records show that more than 57 high-rises were built on barrier islands surrounding the city from 1970 to 1979.
