The environment and our responsibility

One of the issues dominating modern life, and rightly so, is how we interact with our environment and the question of its sustainability in the long-term. After all, it is the human population that is affecting and impacting the environment to an ever-increasing degree with production processes, consumer attitudes and day-to-day habits.

The 40 Year Recertification Ordinance was initially adopted by the Miami-Dade County Commission in 1975. It was replaced in 2001 by the current law which adopts the Florida Building Code and continues the requirement that buildings in Miami-Dade County after 40 years (and every 10 years thereafter) be re certified by a registered Florida Engineer or Architect for structural and electrical safety. This Ordinance applies to all of unincorporated Miami-Dade County and the incorporated Cities within the County.
