Public Lodging Establishments Safety Compliance – 509.2112 Overview

Under Florida Statute 509.2112, all public lodging establishments that are three stories or more in height must adhere to strict safety inspection requirements. The Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) enforces these rules to ensure the safety and integrity of balconies, platforms, stairways, and railings.

Key requirements include:

1. Certified Safety Inspections: Every three years, establishments must file a certificate confirming that all balconies, platforms, stairways, and railings have been inspected by a qualified professional and are secure and free of defects.
2. Filing Deadlines: This inspection certification must be submitted to the DBPR and the relevant local county or municipal authority responsible for building and zoning permits. The filing requirements began on January 1, 1991, and continue on a three-year cycle.
3. Penalties for Non-compliance: Failure to submit the required inspection certification can result in administrative sanctions by the Division, as outlined in s. 509.261.

These regulations are in place to safeguard public safety and ensure that Florida’s lodging establishments meet the highest standards for structural integrity and maintenance.

High winds and hurricanes can have adverse effects on Mobile homes or manufactured homes that are not properly secured. Mobile and manufactured homes are often not secured to the ground as a standard home would be. Florida law and HUD require that mobile homes be properly tied down to avoid movement during high winds.

Mobile home tie downs are the anchors or straps that keep the home secure during high winds. A certain number of tie downs are required, and they are required to be spaced a specific distance apart.

The mobile home tie down inspection is an assessment to make sure that the proper tie downs have been installed. The tie downs need to meet FHA and HUD regulations.

In S Fla the tie down engineering criteria is subject to 170 MPH. The state regulates the appropriate tie down specifications through out Florida for mobile homes. Inspections for mobile homes tie downs can be done in 3-5 working days. For mobile homes this is usually an auger anchor unless coral rock is discovered.

Our engineers are certified to give you the proper authority you need for your tie down mobile home inspection. When a storm comes through you will have the peace of mind that your mobile home is properly secured.
