Meet the SIRS Deadline: Act by December 31, 2025

Florida’s Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) mandate, updated under HB 913, requires condos three stories or taller to complete a reserve study by December 31, 2025. This study must cover critical components like load-bearing walls, roofs, and seawalls to ensure safety and compliance. Non-compliance risks hefty fines, legal action, and safety concerns, particularly in the wake of the Surfside tragedy. FPAT provides expedited reserve study services tailored for Fort Lauderdale condos, delivering comprehensive inspections and SIRS-compliant funding plans to meet this extended deadline. Our local expertise ensures your property is prepared for hurricanes, corrosion, and regulatory demands, giving you peace of mind.Don’t delay—the clock is ticking.

Fort Lauderdale’s Unique Challenges

Fort Lauderdale condos face distinct risks that demand a tailored reserve study:

  • Hurricane Vulnerability: The city’s coastal location increases wind and storm surge risks, with 2024 storms causing 18% higher repair costs than the state average, per insurance data.
  • Saltwater Corrosion: Condos in areas like Galt Ocean Mile face rebar and concrete deterioration, reducing lifespans by 25%, per Florida engineering studies.
  • Aging Infrastructure: Over 45% of Fort Lauderdale’s condos are 30+ years old, requiring robust maintenance plans, per 2025 market reports.
  • Regulatory Pressure: Florida’s SIRS mandate affects 75% of Fort Lauderdale’s high-rise condos, with non-compliance risking $15,000 fines, per Chapter 718.

 

FPAT’s inspections and funding plans address these challenges, ensuring your condo is prepared. Learn more about Florida Statutes Chapter 718.
