RECOMIVIENDATYON
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution accepting Ordinance #97-107 adopted by Miami -Dade County on
July 8, 1997, and extended though December 31, 2000, establishin
Procedures to bring additions or repairs, for Group I and J occupancy, which
have not received permits or certificates of completion into compliance with the
Code.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance #97-107, the amnesty ordinance, was adopted by Miami -Dade
County. The ordinance is an amendment to the South Florida Building Code
(SFBC) which established a procedure to bring additions or repairs which have
not received permits or where permits were issued, but did not receive
mandatory inspections, into compliance with the South Florida Building Code.
Legalization of the structures must take place during the amnesty period and
must satisfy the Code in effect at the time that the construction took place.
The amnesty period will run until December 31, 2000. The current owner of
the property is ultimately responsible for bringing the property into compliance.
The ordinance is not only beneficial to the community by giving homeowners
an amnesty period in which to come into compliance, but it helps the City in
making sure that properties will be brought up to code. Additions/repairs done
without permits or certificates are unsafe and a hazard to the community. The
Procedures established will not only promote safety in the neighborhoods, but
all illegal additions will then become part of the tax base.
Miami -Dade County has given the municipalities the option to implement these
Procedures- The Building and Zoning Department will assist the a licants
and enforce these procedures for the City of Miami, pp
