With its blend of educational campuses, equestrian neighborhoods, and aging commercial centers, Davie presents a unique environment for property managers navigating the 40-Year Building Recertification process. As buildings across the town reach this critical age milestone, compliance with Broward County’s mandatory inspection requirement becomes a top priority. Deluxe Waterproofing brings over 65 years of experience in structural repair and waterproofing to help Davie property owners complete the recertification process on time and with full confidence.
What Is the 40-Year Recertification?
The 40-Year Recertification is a mandatory building inspection required by Broward County. Once a commercial or multi-family structure turns 40 years old, it must undergo a comprehensive structural and electrical review performed by licensed engineers. This inspection is required again every 10 years thereafter.
- Which buildings are affected: All commercial and multi-family properties larger than 2,000 square feet
- Initial deadline: Triggered at 40 years from the original construction date
- Ongoing requirement: Re-inspection every 10 years following initial certification
- Governed by: Broward County and the Town of Davie Building Department
- Penalties for non-compliance: Code violations, fines, insurance complications, and potential building occupancy restrictions
Deluxe Waterproofing partners with property managers across Davie to ensure inspections are passed and all necessary repairs are completed with accuracy and efficiency.

Common Issues Found During Recertifications
Davie’s mix of building ages and uses means no two inspections are exactly alike. However, certain issues tend to appear frequently as structures approach 40 years of use, especially those exposed to Florida’s humidity, heat, and seasonal storms.
- Cracks in Structural Members: Load-bearing walls, columns, or beams may show stress fractures due to foundation movement or prolonged wear.
- Concrete Spalling: Caused by corroded rebar, spalling weakens concrete surfaces and is often seen in balconies, walkways, and parking decks.
- Water Intrusion: Roof leaks, failing sealants, or unprotected building joints allow water into the structure, leading to mold, rot, and internal damage.
- Outdated Electrical Components: Old panels, breakers, and wiring systems may no longer meet safety standards and must be updated to pass inspection.
Deluxe Waterproofing identifies these issues early and provides long-lasting, code-compliant repairs that help you avoid failed inspections or repeated work orders.
