The 40-Year Building Recertification Requirements Are Changing

There are important changes going into effect regarding 40-year recertifications that commercial building owners will need to prepare for in the coming months. Evolve Property Inspections can help you protect your investment, ensuring your building meets the new requirements that are mandated. We want you to be able to take the guesswork out of your building’s ability to get re-certified with the facts from a certified master inspector. We will go through the new requirements for a 40-year building recertification and how we can help you meet those requirements.

New Requirements for 40-Year Recertification

Beginning July 1st, it will be mandatory to have an infrared thermography inspection completed by a certified level II thermographer on a 40-year recertification in Broward County, Florida. These recertifications require buildings in the county to be inspected to ensure they are structurally and electrically safe for continued use and occupancy. If your building is determined to be safe after a review of the inspection report, you will not be required to have another inspection for 10 years. If there are electrical or structural deficiencies found, you will have 180 days from the date of the report to obtain permits and complete the necessary repairs.

Level II Infrared Thermal Imaging

Evolve Property Inspections offers infrared thermal imaging inspections, which use state-of-the-art equipment to give our inspectors the ability to detect issues we would otherwise miss. These inspections are required for the new 40-year building recertifications because they provide thorough and accurate details about the building's condition. Buildings with electrical systems operating at 400 amperes or greater will be required to provide a written report of electrical equipment, such as busways, switchgear, panelboards, control panels, meter centers, junction boxes, transformers, and more, as applicable. This infrared inspection must be performed by a level-II or higher certified infrared thermographer who is not only qualified and trained to recognize and document thermal anomalies in electrical systems, but also has over seven years of experience inspecting electrical systems associated with commercial buildings.

Evolve Property Inspections has the expertise and experience to help you ensure your Broward County building meets the new requirements to get recertified.
