AGK Construction & Roofing is a licensed Florida contractor that resolves building code violations for residential and commercial owners throughout Cutler Bay and Miami-Dade County. Cutler Bay is a young town — incorporated in 2005 — built largely from master-planned, HOA-governed communities like Lakes by the Bay, Saga Bay, and Cutler Ridge, layered over older South Dade housing that predates the town. That mix produces a specific violation profile: deed-restricted HOA properties where work was done without both town and association approval, and older homes carrying unpermitted repairs from long before incorporation.
Five active Florida licenses — roofing, general construction, plumbing, glass & glazing, and mechanical (HVAC) — let AGK resolve every violation type on a Cutler Bay property under one roof, from the free inspection through the final town sign-off.
Cutler Bay Code Compliance divides the town into three enforcement zones, and confirmed violations go before the town's Special Magistrate — with hearings held monthly at Town Hall. Once fines are ordered they can run daily until the case is closed, and unpaid fines can be recorded as a lien in Miami-Dade County against your property. Call AGK at (954) 807-3455 for a free on-site inspection, generally within 24 to 48 hours.

Two Cutler Bay specifics catch owners off guard. First, the town's online permit search only covers records from August 1, 2010 forward — anything before that (including work done under Miami-Dade County before the town took over its own building services) requires calling the Building Department directly at (305) 234-4193. Second, lien verification runs through the Town Clerk's office separately from permit searches, and because most of Cutler Bay is deed-restricted, an HOA approval is frequently required in addition to the town permit before work can proceed.
Because Cutler Bay is a newer town built on older South Dade land, its violations split into two groups: unpermitted work on the pre-incorporation homes, and HOA-community projects done without proper town and association sign-off. Add the pre-2010 permit records that don't appear online, and open cases surface regularly — usually at sale.
In Cutler Bay, the violation notices that come up most are for:
| Violation Type | Initial Action | Daily Fine Risk | Lien Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unpermitted Construction / Stop-Work Order | Notice of Violation / work stopped | Can build after the Special Magistrate hearing | Yes — can be recorded on the property |
| Addition or Conversion Without Permit | Notice of Violation | By Special Magistrate order | Yes — can hold up sale & refinance |
| Open or Expired Permit | Varies | Can continue until closed | Yes |
| Mechanical / HVAC Without Permit | Notice of Violation | By Special Magistrate order | Yes |
| Roofing or Windows Below HVHZ | Varies | By Special Magistrate order | Yes |
Almost nobody goes looking for an old permit — it finds them, usually through a title search in the middle of a deal. Two terms matter here. "Open" means the work wrapped up but no one ever called the final inspection, leaving the record unfinished. "Expired" means the permit lapsed after the Florida Building Code's general 180-day period of inactivity. In both scenarios the unresolved permit follows the deed, reappearing at each sale, refinance, and insurance review until it is properly closed out.
Cutler Bay has an added wrinkle: because the town only took over its own building services in the mid-2000s, and its online permit search starts at August 1, 2010, older open permits often sit invisible in the pre-2010 county-era records until a title company digs them up. If the contractor who pulled the permit is long gone, AGK can take it over through a change of contractor.
AGK closes out open and expired permits across all five licensed trades — see open permit closure in Cutler Bay, or call (954) 807-3455 and we'll pull the property's entire record first, pre-2010 included.
Cutler Bay's HOA communities move quickly in resale, and both the town and the associations scrutinize property condition at transfer. Open violations, expired permits, and unpermitted work rank among the leading reasons Cutler Bay deals fall apart:
AGK works alongside Cutler Bay agents and closing attorneys to clear violations against short timelines. If a closing date is set, call (954) 807-3455 and we'll prioritize the case — and see our guide to selling with open permits and violations.

Cutler Bay Building Code Violations — Common Questions
Straight answers for Cutler Bay property owners dealing with a code case — the Town's Building Division and Code Compliance, pre-2010 permit records, HOA overlap, liens, and timelines.
Yes. AGK holds five active Florida licenses: Roofing (CCC-1335099), General Contractor (CGC-1534839), Plumbing (CFC-1434412), Glass & Glazing (SCC-131153361), and Mechanical (CMC-1251836). We permit, perform, and pass inspection on all of them under one contract.
For a Cutler Bay property carrying several violations at once — common on the older pre-incorporation homes — that's one contractor and one coordinated filing rather than four or five separate trades.
The Town of Cutler Bay runs its own Building Division and Code Compliance from Town Hall at 10720 Caribbean Blvd. The Building Division (Suite 110, 305-234-4193) is operated under contract by CAP Government, Inc. Code Compliance (Suite 230, 305-234-4262, after-hours 786-573-5515) divides the town into three enforcement zones, and confirmed violations go before the town's Special Magistrate. Unpaid fine liens are recorded in Miami-Dade County's official records.
AGK handles every filing across the town, HOA, and county in the correct sequence, so you never deal with the government directly.
The Town of Cutler Bay's online permit search only covers records from August 1, 2010 forward. The town incorporated in 2005, and permits before August 2010 — including work done under Miami-Dade County before the town took over its own building services — require calling the Building Department at (305) 234-4193.
This is exactly where old open permits hide until a sale. AGK pulls the complete history, pre-2010 included, during the free consultation. Call (954) 807-3455.
Yes. After a violation is confirmed before the town's Special Magistrate, daily fines can be ordered and accrue until the case is officially closed. Unpaid fines can be recorded as a lien in Miami-Dade County's official records — showing up in title searches and holding up a sale or refinance until cleared. Lien verification runs through the Town Clerk's office.
The longer it sits, the larger it grows. AGK's inspection is free, so the cheapest day to start is today. Call (954) 807-3455.
Very likely. Much of Cutler Bay is made up of deed-restricted, HOA-governed communities such as Lakes by the Bay and Saga Bay. Even when the town issues a permit without an HOA approval letter, your deed restrictions may still require association sign-off before the project can proceed.
AGK prepares the town permit package and coordinates the HOA architectural approval so the project clears both. Call (954) 807-3455.
Yes. Code violations and open permits belong to the property, not the person who created them, and pass with the deed. As the current owner, bringing the property into compliance — including accruing fines — is your responsibility, often tracing to pre-2010 work not on the online record.
AGK manages the full resolution under one contract: inspection, after-the-fact permits, corrections, and final sign-off.
Yes. All of Miami-Dade County — Cutler Bay included — is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest wind-resistance zone in the Florida Building Code. Roofing systems, windows, and exterior doors need HVHZ product approvals and must pass inspection to that standard.
AGK uses only HVHZ-approved products on Cutler Bay jobs and includes the approval documentation with each permit.
AGK serves all of Cutler Bay and Miami-Dade County and can generally schedule a free on-site inspection within 24 to 48 hours. For pressing cases — a stop-work order, an upcoming Special Magistrate hearing, a closing deadline, or fast-mounting daily fines — call (954) 807-3455 and we prioritize your case.
The sooner the work starts, the sooner the case is officially closed.
