North Miami runs from the MiMo storefronts and apartment buildings along Biscayne Boulevard to the canal-front streets of Keystone Point and the 1950s block homes of Sunkist Grove, and its building stock shows it: duplexes, small apartment buildings, waterfront houses with seawalls and docks, and a long line of commercial tenant spaces. That variety produces permits constantly, and an open permit North Miami owners overlook is often a landlord's or a previous owner's leftover. If you found open permits North Miami records show against your address, or an expired permit North Miami never warned you about, here is how they get closed.
AGK Construction & Roofing is an open permit contractor North Miami landlords and homeowners can call, and an open permit company North Miami agents, attorneys, and property managers refer clients to. Our first step is always the paper trail: we gather the permit history, decide what open permit closure North Miami demands in your situation (reopen, extend, renew, or close), submit it to the North Miami Building Department, and handle any repairs with our own five Florida licenses before attending the final inspection.

Landlords, buyers, and lenders all hit the same wall in North Miami: an open permit can block a sale, a refinance, a certificate of use, or a new permit, and an expired permit can turn into a code case with daily fines. Every month it sits makes the contractor harder to find and the fix harder to price.
A North Miami permit search starts with your street address in the city's online permit records. Whether you typed open permit lookup North Miami, city of North Miami inspections, or North Miami building permit into Google, you land on the same result: a list of permits with statuses such as open, expired, cancelled, or missing a final. Many owners also search "North Miami open permits on my property" before they find the record itself.
Here is how to find open permits North Miami records scatter across files: search by folio number as well as by address, check for permits issued to earlier owners or to a landlord's company name, and see whether a duplex or multi-unit building has separate records for each unit. A North Miami permit status search shows the label only; it will not tell you what the city expects before it closes the permit. North Miami building department open permits can also be confirmed by phone or at the permit counter, and people who search for the North Miami building department, a North Miami inspection request, or North Miami inspections often really need a closed permit.
We run the full record for free, line it up against what is physically on the property, and explain every open item in plain English, including which ones are administrative and which need real inspection work.

Answers for North Miami homeowners, landlords, buyers, and sellers
It is a permit issued for work on a North Miami property that never got a passed final inspection. Until it is finaled or cancelled, the permit stays on the address and is visible to every buyer, lender, and inspector who looks.
Enter the street address in the city's online permit records and write down each permit number and status. Cross-check the folio so you are on the right parcel, and treat open, expired, cancelled, or no-final statuses as items to resolve. We will run it and explain the result free of charge.
First we learn why it lapsed. Depending on its age and inspection history, the city may extend it or require a renewal; in both cases, leftover work must meet current code and pass inspection before the permit can close. We handle the filings and the work.
Inspections are requested against a specific permit number through the building department, and an expired permit usually has to be revived first. We submit the requests and attend the inspections, so you are not chasing the schedule.
Usually, yes. The usual path is documentation first (photos, measurements, sometimes drawings or an engineer's letter), then inspection, with an exposed wall or ceiling when the inspector needs to see framing. Passing inspection puts the work on the legal record.
If you own the property, yes. Permits belong to the address, not to whoever pulled them, so an open permit from a former owner or landlord becomes the current owner's to resolve.
Then you carry it. We examine what was actually built, ask the city whether the original permit can be revived, and complete the remaining inspections under our own licenses rather than starting a new application.
Beyond a small patch, yes, and a full replacement always requires one. In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone the roofing system needs current product approvals, so a roof whose permit never closed is worth correcting before it costs you at a sale or an insurance renewal.
It can be, especially in rentals. A replaced AC with no permit or no inspection shows up when a buyer, lender, or insurer asks for records. Because we hold a Mechanical license, we can pull the missing permit and take the system through inspection, or repair what an earlier installer left.
Only if zoning and building code both say yes, and a permit alone cannot override zoning. We review zoning, egress, and structure first and then tell you directly whether the unit can be approved as built or has to change.
By removing its cause. We resolve the missing or expired permit, correct or re-permit any work outside the approved plans, and pass inspection so the city can release the order.
A permit's life is short. Florida's building code lets it lapse after 180 days with no start or 180 days of inactivity, and the building official may grant extra time. Once it lapses you are looking at an extension, reactivation, or renewal.
