Per your request, attached please find the results of the joint
inspection made by all sections of this department, including the
Fire Department at the above mentioned property.
The inspection revealed that this building has structural and code
violations which are stated in the attached report. Also, I
personally inspected said structure. In my opinion, the space
occupied by Hardeman's Grocery at 5500 NW 17 Avenue, is in the worst
condition.
This space is in violation of Section 202.2(2) of the South Florida
Building Code as follows:
a. All of the ceilings are falling away and hanging
loosely.
b. There is deterioration of the roof structural
members.
C. The electrical and plumbing installations are
creating a hazardous condition, contrary to the
standards of the South Florida Building Code.
d. An unsanitary condition exists by reason of
inadequate or malfunctioning sanitary facilities or
waste disposal systems.
Based on all of the above, it is my opinion that this space occupied
by the grocery store must be vacated immediately until all the
required general repairs have been completed.
Regarding the space occupied by "Cafe Tung Nan, at 5508 NW 17
Avenue, in general, the results are as follows:
a. The ceilings are falling away and hanging loosely
in the south area of the kitchen; the remainder of
this space appears to have been repaired recently.

b. Deterioration of the roof structural members.
In my opinion the above mentioned space may continue to be occupied,
because visually it does not appear to be unsafe; with the exception
of the area which has been taken care of by.the tenant. The tenant
has temporarily installed a post shoring in the affected area.
In conclusion, it appears that this building has never received
"good" maintenance. As a result, it is recommended that it be
repaired totally, specifically, the roof. Attached are copies of
the forms used in similar cases which give details of all the
structural and electrical work necessary in order to recertify this
structure as being "safe." The forms must be completed by a
Registered Architect or Structural Engineer. The repairs must be
done by a Licensed Contractor.
