Real solutions for code violations

If you’re like most people in South Florida, you want to avoid code violations at all costs. Unfortunately, sometimes these things are out of our control. Whether your home was built before current building codes were in place or hurricane damage has left your home with some new (and unwanted) features, dealing with code violations can be frustrating and confusing. But don’t worry! We’re here to help. In this post, we’ll outline some real solutions for dealing with specific building code violations. So read on for tips and tricks that will help you get back in compliance – fast!

Know the code requirements 

It’s important to note that many building codes have been put into place to protect your health and well-being. If you’re going to do repairs on a home, it’s best to know exactly what is required of you by law so that you can avoid any unnecessary fines or fees from the county.

Code violation repair can be time-consuming and expensive. In many cases, it’s also unnecessary. If you truly want to avoid code violations, fines or fees that might be associated with your home’s renovation, find out the requirements before you start any work!

Any building department in your area should be able to help you with this. They’ll be able to tell you about the specific building codes that are applicable to your home and property, as well as what needs to be done in order to bring it into code compliance.

Stay organized and keep track of your building repairs 

The best way to avoid any particular violation of the zoning requirements is to keep your work organized and on track. This also goes for permits, licenses, and other approvals that might be necessary to complete the renovation.

It’s always a good idea to have a plan before you start any repairs – this way you can stay on task and avoid making costly building code violations mistakes. You’ll also want to make sure that you have all of your permits and licenses in order before you start any work.

In some cases, it might be helpful to have a contractor on site who can help you with the more complicated repairs. If you’re not sure where to start, or if you need help getting your home back into compliance, don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance at AG Contractors and Design! 

Prioritize your tasks so that you can stay on top of every possible code violation 

If you’re like most people in South Florida, even the smallest amount of damage to your home can be a serious and costly problem. After all, we’re in hurricane country and it often takes just one stray storm for damage to occur. So when you come back from a trip only to discover that your roof is partially ripped off or your air conditioner is no longer functional, it’s hard not to panic.

However, most code violations are preventable with a little bit of knowledge and foresight (and perhaps some help from a contractor like AG Contractors and Design). The most efficient manner to fix the violation is to know what it is and go down the list of priorities. 

For minor repairs, make a checklist of the task at hand, materials required, and tools you will need to complete the job. This will help minimize possible mistakes that can cause more serious code violations – and subsequent fines.

This is particularly true when it comes to major repairs such as painting or roof replacement, which require a lot of labor and time to complete. Get organized with a checklist before you start work, and be sure to use it throughout the entire job so that nothing is missed.
