Miami-Dade County Building Code Violation Contractor
Miami-Dade County Building Recertification & Unsafe Structures — Resolved Fast
Every city in Miami-Dade — and all of unincorporated Miami-Dade — enforces the County's building recertification program under Section 8-11(f) of the Miami-Dade County Code. Buildings must be recertified once they reach 30 years of age (25 years for coastal buildings), and again every 10 years thereafter. Miss the deadline and the case moves to Unsafe Structures, where the building can be posted, the Certificate of Occupancy revoked, and the property ordered vacated.
AGK Construction & Roofing performs the structural, roofing, plumbing, mechanical, and glazing repairs a recertification report calls for, pulls the permits, and coordinates with your engineer of record to get the building certified and the case closed — anywhere in Miami-Dade County.

Miami-Dade County Building Code Violation Contractor
AGK Construction & Roofing is a licensed general contractor resolving building code violations across all of Miami-Dade County — every incorporated city and all unincorporated areas. Whether your violation was issued by a city building department or by the County's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), the underlying corrections are the same: permit the work, bring it to current Florida Building Code and HVHZ standard, pass inspection, and close the case. With five active Florida contractor licenses — roofing, general construction, plumbing, glass & glazing, and mechanical — AGK resolves virtually every violation type under one contract.
Whether enforced by a city or by County RER, unresolved violations accrue daily running fines ordered at a Code Enforcement or Special Magistrate hearing, then record as liens against your property. On older buildings, an unresolved case can compound into an Unsafe Structures action. All of Miami-Dade sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so roofing and window corrections must use NOA-approved materials. Call AGK at (954) 807-3455 for a free on-site inspection, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

Building Recertification Across Miami-Dade — 30 Years & Every 10 After
Miami-Dade County Code §8-11(f) requires applicable buildings to be recertified by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect once they reach 30 years of age — 25 years for coastal buildings — and again every 10 years thereafter. Single-family homes, duplexes, and buildings with an occupant load of 10 or less and 2,000 square feet or less are exempt, so recertification primarily affects multi-family, mixed-use, and commercial buildings. Each municipality administers the program locally; unincorporated properties go through County RER.
When a recertification report flags structural or roofing deficiencies, the owner must permit and complete the repairs before the building is certified. AGK performs all the licensed structural, roofing, plumbing, mechanical, and glazing corrections required — coordinating with your engineer of record. (Any electrical items noted in a recertification report are handled by a licensed electrical contractor.) Received a recertification or unsafe-structure notice? Call (954) 807-3455.

Understanding Your Miami-Dade Violation — Common Case Types
Most Miami-Dade violation cases come down to one of the situations below. Tap any topic to learn how it works:
When work was already built without a permit, the city or County requires an after-the-fact permit to bring it onto the record, reviewed to current code and inspected. Handled by a licensed general contractor (CGC-1534839).
Open & Expired PermitsA permit pulled but never finalized stays "open" in the building department's system — often left by a prior owner or contractor. It surfaces in every title search and must be inspected and closed before you can sell or refinance.
Unpermitted WorkAdditions, garage and efficiency conversions, and enclosed porches done without permits are common across Miami-Dade. Correcting them means permitting the work to current HVHZ code under a licensed general contractor.
Stop-Work OrdersA red "STOP WORK" posting halts all activity, usually for work without a permit. Nothing can legally continue until corrective permits are filed and the order is lifted by the building department.
Certificate of Use / Re-OccupancyMany Miami-Dade cities require a Certificate of Use or Re-Occupancy Certificate before rental or sale — denied while violations, open permits, or liens exist. Clearing those issues keeps your closing on schedule.
Code Violation LiensUnresolved violations accrue daily fines that become recorded liens. A lien blocks any sale or refinance until the underlying violation is resolved and the case is closed.
Roofing ViolationsAn unpermitted re-roof or a roof that doesn't meet HVHZ standards is a common Miami-Dade violation. Correcting it requires a licensed roofing contractor (CCC-1335099) using Miami-Dade NOA-approved, HVHZ-rated materials.
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 roofing, plumbing, and structural corrections on the same property.
