The City of Sunrise operates its own Building Division, completely separate from Broward County. All permits, violations, and inspections within Sunrise city limits go through the City of Sunrise Building Division at 10770 W. Oakland Park Blvd, phone (954) 572-2354 — not the county. Filing a permit application with Broward County for a property inside Sunrise city limits will result in a rejected application and wasted time.

AGK Construction & Roofing verifies your property's correct jurisdiction before filing anything and submits directly to the City of Sunrise Building Division every time. We handle all documentation and follow-up with the city directly — you never deal with the building department yourself.

Sunrise runs a two-track system most owners don't know about. Code enforcement cases are viewable online through the city's Code Compliance Inquiry System — anyone can check the code compliance activity status of a Sunrise property. But open permit searches have no public self-serve portal: unlike Coral Springs or Davie, Sunrise permit records requests go through the Building Records office by email at [email protected] or by phone at (954) 572-2292. Recorded violation liens sit in Broward County official records — a third system entirely.

AGK pulls the complete code case, permit, and lien history for your address across all three tracks as part of every free consultation — so nothing surfaces later during a sale or refinance. Call (954) 807-3455 and we'll run the full check for you.

Sunrise sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) that covers coastal Broward County properties. Properties in Sunrise are subject to the standard Florida Building Code wind requirements rather than HVHZ requirements. This is an important distinction — some contractors incorrectly specify HVHZ-rated products for Sunrise properties, which can affect product availability and cost.

However, all roofing systems, windows, and exterior doors must still meet Florida Product Approval standards and current energy code requirements. AGK installs only Florida-approved products on every Sunrise job and ensures all work passes city inspections on the first visit.

Unpermitted additions and garage conversions are among the most common violations in Sunrise — particularly in the older neighborhoods developed in the 1970s and 1980s. The City of Sunrise Building Division can issue a Stop Work Order and Notice of Violation requiring you to either obtain an after-the-fact permit or demolish the unpermitted structure.

AGK Construction & Roofing handles after-the-fact permitting in Sunrise regularly. We assess the structure, identify what corrections are needed to meet current Florida Building Code, prepare all required drawings and documentation, and file directly with the Sunrise Building Division. In most cases we can bring the work into compliance without demolition.

Yes — and this is one of the most overlooked risks for Sunrise property owners. 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's adjuster discovers the roof was installed without a permit or never passed a final inspection, they may deny the claim entirely — even if the damage is unrelated to the permit issue.

AGK resolves roofing violations, closes open permits, and provides full documentation so your coverage is protected. If you are unsure whether your current roof has a closed permit, we can check during your free inspection.

Timeline depends on the violation type. Simple cases — such as closing an expired permit or correcting a minor non-compliance — can be resolved in 2 to 4 weeks once the permit is approved by the city. More complex situations involving structural work, unpermitted additions, or after-the-fact permits for multiple trades typically take 4 to 8 weeks from permit filing to final inspection.

AGK expedites the process by preparing complete permit packages upfront — all drawings, engineer letters, and product approval documentation submitted together — to avoid the back-and-forth revision cycles that add weeks to the timeline when contractors submit incomplete applications.

Yes. Open permits and code violations attach to the property — not the previous owner. When you purchased the property, the violations transferred with the deed. As the current owner you are responsible for resolving them, including any fines that may have been accumulating before you took ownership.

AGK Construction & Roofing handles the entire resolution process under one contract — property inspection to identify all open items, after-the-fact permit applications filed with the City of Sunrise Building Division, all required physical corrections, and final inspection sign-off. You do not deal with the building department at any stage.

Yes. AGK Construction & Roofing holds five active Florida contractor licenses: Roofing (CCC-1335099), General Contractor (CGC-1534839), Plumbing (CFC-1434412), Glass & Glazing (SCC-131153361), and Mechanical (CMC-1251836). We can legally perform, permit, and pass inspection for roofing, structural, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and window violations all under one contract.

For Sunrise properties with multiple violation types — which is common on older homes and condo units — this means one contractor, one coordinated permit submission to the Sunrise Building Division, and one set of inspections. No managing separate contractors or juggling multiple timelines for each trade including mechanical.

Yes — and most owners don't know yet. Broward County's Board of Rules and Appeals revised the Building Recertification Program (formerly the 40-Year Inspection Program) to align with Florida law: buildings now require their first structural and electrical safety inspection at 25 years of age instead of 40.

Sunrise was developed heavily through the 1960s–1980s — the Inverrary and Sunrise Lakes condo corridors and the commercial stock around Sawgrass all move into recertification years earlier than owners planned. Ignoring a recertification notice becomes a code case with the same daily-fine and lien exposure as any other violation. AGK performs recertification repairs across all five licensed trades and closes the case with the Building Division. Call (954) 807-3455 before the deadline, not after.
