While Miami-Dade manages public housing complexes, funding for maintenance comes from the federal government, and county administrators say the dollars have never matched needs for the aging buildings. Details on the violations were not immediately available. Most of the entries involve condominium complexes, including at least portions of Jade Wind on the 1700 block of Northeast 2nd St., portions of Lake Park on the 900 block of Northeast 199th Street, and Peppermill at Kendale Lakes on the 8000 block of Southwest 149th Avenue.Īlso on the list are two county-owned public housing properties: Little River Plaza at 8255 NW Miami Court and the Ward Towers 1 building at 2200 NW 54th St. On Monday, the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, which regulates the county building code, released a list of 24 properties that are part of an emergency audit of older buildings facing violations for not complying with the 40-year recertification process. That list of alleged violators includes the county itself. Miami-Dade housing complexes on list of violators Miami-Dade County dispatched two inspectors Monday to start visiting about two dozen aging apartment and condominium buildings facing violations from the county. On Friday, the city of Miami's building department announced it will request citywide inspections of all buildings six stories or taller that are 40 years or older. The city of Miami Beach, whose northern border is just feet from the collapse site in neighboring Surfside, has begun doing visual inspections of the 507 buildings in the city that currently require 40-year recertifications under county law. Problems occur when owners or condo boards resist spending money except on interior assets rather than the underside of the building." "If you maintain it, and fulfill your obligation to take care of it, it will last. "We have 100-year-old concrete buildings in South Florida that have stood the test of time," said John Pistorino, the Miami engineer who authored the 40-year recertification policy. But local governments are looking inward after Thursday's partial collapse at the Champlain Towers South, which was built in 1981 and had been in the middle of a 40-year renovation process when it collapsed in the middle of the night, killing at least 11 and leaving 150 unaccounted for.
