The City of Margate operates its own Building Department, completely separate from Broward County. All permits, violations, and inspections within Margate city limits go through the city — not the county. Filing with Broward County for a property inside Margate will result in a rejected application and wasted time.

AGK Construction & Roofing verifies your property's correct jurisdiction before filing anything and handles all submissions directly with the City of Margate Building Department. You never deal with the building department yourself at any stage of the process.

Margate has a significant concentration of rental and investment properties, and landlords are among the most frequently cited property owners for code violations in the city. The City of Margate Code Compliance Division actively monitors rental properties and responds to tenant complaints. As a landlord you are responsible for resolving violations regardless of whether the work was done by a prior owner, a previous tenant, or a contractor you hired.

AGK Construction & Roofing resolves landlord violations quickly — including after-the-fact permits for roofing, plumbing, and structural work done without city sign-off. We provide the full closure documentation you need to protect your rental income, stop accumulating fines, and keep your property compliant for future inspections.

Yes. Open permits and code violations attach to the property — not the previous owner. When you purchased the property, the violations and any accumulated fines transferred with the deed. This is especially common in Margate's older neighborhoods where decades of unpermitted additions, roofing replacements, and plumbing work surface during title searches.

AGK Construction & Roofing handles the entire resolution process under one contract — inspection, after-the-fact permit applications with the City of Margate, all required corrections, and final inspection sign-off. You do not deal with the building department at any stage.

Yes — unresolved violations in Margate become liens on your property. The City's Code Compliance Division issues daily fines through its Special Magistrate process. Those fines accumulate without a cap until the violation is officially closed. Once fines exceed a threshold, the city records a lien against your property that blocks any sale or refinancing until fully satisfied.

Total costs for violation resolution plus lien removal can reach $8,000 and above. Starting the resolution process the moment you receive a notice is the most effective way to reduce your total cost. The inspection and written estimate from AGK are completely free.

Yes. Florida homeowner's insurers can deny claims or cancel coverage on properties with open code violations, particularly for roofing. If you file a roof claim and the insurer discovers the roof was installed without a permit or never passed a final city inspection, they may deny the claim entirely — even if the damage appears unrelated to the permit issue.

AGK resolves roofing violations, closes open permits, and provides full closure documentation so your coverage is protected. If you are unsure whether your current roof has a closed permit, we can check Margate's permit records during your free inspection at no charge.

Yes — and this is one of the most time-sensitive cases we handle. When violations surface in a Margate title search they typically become a condition of closing. The buyer's lender will not approve financing and the title company cannot issue a clean title until violations are officially closed by the building department.

AGK Construction & Roofing treats pre-closing cases as top priority and moves through the inspection, permit filing, construction, and city inspection process as quickly as the City of Margate Building Department's schedule allows. Contact us the moment violations appear — call (954) 807-3455 directly.

Yes. AGK Construction & Roofing holds four active Florida contractor licenses: Roofing (CCC-1335099), General Contractor (CGC-1534839), Plumbing (CFC-1434412), and Glass & Glazing (SCC-131153361). We can legally perform, permit, and pass inspection for roofing, structural, plumbing, and window violations all under one contract.

For Margate properties with multiple violation types — which is common on older homes and rental properties — this means one contractor, one coordinated permit submission to the City of Margate Building Department, and one set of inspections. No managing separate contractors or juggling multiple timelines for each trade.
