Serving Miramar, FL · Broward County · Licensed & Insured · 5 FL Licenses
AGK Construction & Roofing is a licensed general contractor specializing in building code violation resolution for residential and commercial properties in Miramar. The City of Miramar handles building code violations through two separate departments — the Building Code Compliance Section under the Building, Planning & Zoning Department, and the Code Compliance Division, which operates under the Miramar Police Department. Unresolved violations can be referred to the Unsafe Structures Board or the Municipal Court, giving Miramar a broader enforcement structure than many Broward cities. With five active Florida contractor licenses covering roofing, general construction, plumbing, glass & glazing, and mechanical, AGK resolves virtually every violation type on Miramar properties under one contract.
In Miramar, unresolved building code violations can be referred to Municipal Court in addition to other enforcement steps. The Building Official issues Notices of Violation and Citations — which can carry a civil penalty of up to $500 for starting work without first applying for a permit — and failure to comply can lead to court proceedings, fines, and recorded liens. Call AGK at (954) 807-3455 for a free inspection before your violation escalates.
Miramar is one of Broward County's largest cities, with a housing stock that ranges from planned residential communities like Monarch Lakes and Riviera Isles to commercial corridors along Miramar Parkway and Pembroke Road. The city enforces the Florida Building Code through its Building Code Compliance Section, which investigates Florida Building Code violations — from unlicensed contractors and unpermitted construction to unresolved structural and roofing issues.
Miramar, like all of Broward County, is in the Florida Building Code's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — the strictest wind-resistance zone in the Florida Building Code. Roofing, windows, and doors must carry HVHZ product approval: a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. When a roof is being corrected anyway, it is worth checking how it is tied to the walls — see our hurricane straps service. Property owners commonly receive violations for:
In Miramar, Code Compliance operates under the Police Department — not the Building or Community Development Department. That creates two separate enforcement paths property owners need to understand:
Most Miramar violation cases come down to one of the situations below — and because the city can escalate to Municipal Court, resolving them quickly matters. Tap any topic to learn how it works:
Miramar's Building Code Compliance Section investigates work done by unlicensed contractors — and the property owner is typically responsible for correcting it. Bringing it onto the record means permitting the work to current code under a licensed general contractor (CGC-1534839).
After-the-Fact PermitsWhen work was already built without a permit — an addition, a screen enclosure, a re-roof — Miramar requires an after-the-fact permit to legalize it. The work is documented, reviewed to current code, and inspected by the Building Division.
Open & Expired PermitsA permit pulled but never finalized stays "open" in the Miramar system — often left by a prior owner or contractor. Open and expired permits surface in title searches and typically must be inspected and closed before you can sell or refinance.
Stop-Work OrdersA "STOP WORK" posting halts all activity, usually for work done without a Miramar permit. Nothing can legally continue until corrective permits are filed and the order is released by the Building Division.
Pre-Sale & Lien ClearanceOpen violations, expired permits, and recorded liens surface during a Miramar title search and can hold up a closing. Clearing them before you list keeps your closing on schedule.
Code Violation LiensUnresolved Miramar violations can accrue fines that become recorded liens — and the case can be referred to Municipal Court or the Unsafe Structures Board. A lien can hold up a sale or refinance until the underlying violation is resolved and closed.
Roofing ViolationsAn unpermitted re-roof or a roof without HVHZ-approved materials is a common Miramar violation. Correcting it requires a licensed roofing contractor (CCC-1335099) using HVHZ-approved materials — a Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval.
Mechanical / HVAC ViolationsHVAC equipment and ductwork installed without a permit must be brought to code by a licensed mechanical contractor (CMC-1251836), often bundled with other trades on the same Miramar property under one permit process.
