Concerns are rising among Florida condo owners as the December 31 deadline approaches for mandatory inspections and critical repairs on buildings older than 30 years, a requirement imposed after the 2021 Surfside collapse. Jeff Brandes, a former state senator, is advocating for a special legislative session to delay the deadline, warning that the current law is leading to financial strain on condo owners who now face steep repair costs. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers support the call for a special session to extend the deadline and ease the financial burden while ensuring safety measures are maintained.
