City Council will vote on its reactionary bill Tuesday. The Beaches will have to take on their own approach to following the state's law.
The popular state bill passed through the House and Senate unanimously – an anomaly – but the Jacksonville iteration has so far passed committee with some skepticism on the timing of the bill and criticism for what is or is not encompassed.At the most basic form, under the new state law condo or co-op buildings three stories tall or higher will be required to undergo inspections once they reach certain “milestones.
The Phase One inspection, Gerville explained, is largely visual and operates on a strict pass/fail basis. Engineers may inspect every unit of the eligible buildings looking for structural issues – or, in worst case scenarios, the engineers do not have to go through every unit because they already see damages.
The board of the collapsed Surfside condo knew as early as 2018 about structural problems with the building but voted against repairs. As previously reported by“It’s heartbreaking,” Gerville said, believing the tragedy could have been prevented. The Jacksonville bill will also attempt to standardize inspections after receiving input from local industry groups, Joshua Gideon, chief of the Building Inspection Division, told members of the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee Dec. 5. The division will be responsible for alerting buildings to upcoming inspection deadlines and maintaining a database of buildings and inspections.
Consolidation offers unique challenges around what Jacksonville laws can be put into effect at the Beaches and Baldwin – and this is no exception. Neptune Beach City Manager Stefen Wynn told the Times-Union only one building fell under the state guidelines, but would not need to be inspected until 2033. It will be flagged in the city's current software for future notification.What are the criticisms of the legislation?
