Condo safety: Of the older buildings due for checkups last year, only one in five certified safe

Hallandale Beach City Manager Jeremy Earle said the official responsible for sending the notifications out in 2020 is no longer with the city. The city sent notices to 340 outstanding properties on June 30, the week after Champlain Tower collapsed, and another 25 on July 25. Building owners and condo associations in Hallandale have until September to complete their structural and electrical checks, and those that do not respond will be forwarded to a special magistrate for enforcement, Earle said.
