In a tweet, Levine Cava said she is urging “municipalities to do their own aggressive review.”
Many other South Florida municipalities have announced additional steps to inspect older buildings.
A spokesperson with the City of Miami told NBC 6 that they are sending letters to 125 buildings six stories or higher and 40 years or older asking them to hire a licensed structural engineer to conduct an inspection. This is something the spokesperson said is not mandatory, but highly recommended.
The City of Miami Beach also took similar action by sending out structural engineers to older buildings.
In the City of Sunny Isles Beach, a spokesperson said their Building Department has initiated an inspection process for all commercial and multi-family buildings built before 1982, including review of both the inspection paperwork and external structures.
