AGK Construction & Roofing is a licensed general contractor specializing in building code violation resolution for residential and commercial properties in Sunny Isles Beach. Known internationally as a premier luxury high-rise destination on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Sunny Isles Beach is home to one of the most diverse international property owner communities in South Florida. The City of Sunny Isles Beach operates its own Building Department and Code Compliance Division, uses the My Sunny Isles Beach mobile app for violation reporting, and enforces strict Miami-Dade HVHZ construction standards on every property. With five active Florida contractor licenses covering roofing, general construction, plumbing, glass & glazing, and mechanical, AGK resolves virtually every violation type on SIB properties under one contract.
In Sunny Isles Beach's ultra-premium real estate market, open violations and expired permits can cost property owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in delayed or collapsed closings. Code violations are reported through the My Sunny Isles Beach app or the city's online portal by any resident or visitor — and the city runs an appointment-based system for in-person visits alongside a fully digital permit portal, making proactive resolution with a licensed contractor essential.

Sunny Isles Beach is a barrier island city incorporated in 1997 — a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway in northeast Miami-Dade County. The city is dominated by luxury high-rise condominium towers, boutique hotels, and upscale single-family homes in neighborhoods like Golden Shores. Its international community — with significant Russian-speaking, Israeli, Ukrainian, Georgian, and Brazilian populations — makes Sunny Isles Beach one of the most globally connected real estate markets in Florida.
All properties in Sunny Isles Beach fall within Miami-Dade County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), requiring Miami-Dade NOA approval on all roofing, windows, and doors. The barrier island location adds additional coastal construction zone requirements. Property owners commonly receive violations for:
Two important facts unique to Sunny Isles Beach:
Recertification is one of the most important compliance issues on a barrier island like Sunny Isles Beach, and the timeline changed after Florida's 2022 statewide building-safety reform. Per the City of Sunny Isles Beach Building Recertification Program, buildings must be recertified once they reach 30 years of age and every 10 years thereafter. Certain coastal condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or taller, within three miles of the coastline, must be recertified at 25 years and every 10 years after that. Because nearly all of Sunny Isles Beach sits within that coastal band, the 25-year threshold applies to a large share of the city's towers — earlier than many owners expect.
Most Sunny Isles Beach violation cases come down to one of the situations below — and with high-value closings on the line, resolving them cleanly protects the sale. Tap any topic to learn how it works:
Interior renovations, flooring, and layout changes done without a permit are the single most common SIB violation, especially in older towers. Correcting them means permitting the work and bringing it to current code under a licensed general contractor (CGC-1534839).
After-the-Fact PermitsWhen work was already built without a permit — a renovation, a balcony enclosure, a re-roof — SIB requires an after-the-fact permit to legalize it. The work is documented, reviewed to current HVHZ code, and inspected by the Building Department.
Open & Expired PermitsA permit pulled but never finalized stays "open" in the SIB system — often left by a prior condo owner or contractor. Open and expired permits surface in every title search and must be inspected and closed before you can sell or refinance.
Stop-Work OrdersA "STOP WORK" notice halts all activity, usually for work done without a SIB permit. Nothing can legally continue until corrective permits are filed and the order is lifted by the Building Department.
Pre-Sale & Certificate of UseOpen violations, expired permits, and liens all surface during a SIB closing — and international buyers' attorneys look closely. Clearing them, and confirming the Certificate of Use for rentals and commercial spaces, before you list keeps your closing on schedule.
Code Violation LiensUnresolved SIB violations accrue daily fines ordered by the Special Magistrate that become recorded liens. On a $2M+ condo, a single lien can block the entire sale until the underlying violation is resolved and closed.
Roofing & Recertification RepairsRe-roofs and structural roof repairs — including work required to pass 30/25-year recertification — must meet HVHZ standards with Miami-Dade NOA approvals. Handled by a licensed roofing contractor (CCC-1335099).
Mechanical / HVAC ViolationsA/C changeouts and mechanical equipment installed without a permit — common in condo renovations — must be corrected by a licensed mechanical contractor (CMC-1251836), often alongside other trades on the same unit.
