Free Resources from Building Reserves' reserve study professionals
A Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) from Building Reserves offers a robust financial blueprint for ensuring that critical infrastructure and assets within condominium or cooperative developments, particularly those three stories or taller in Florida, are properly maintained and replaced when needed. This service stems from Florida Senate Bill 4-D (SB-4D), which mandates that such buildings conduct milestone structural inspections and SIRS to confirm their safety and operational soundness. As of December 31, 2024, associations must fund the items identified in their SIRS; failure to do so constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty. These studies are required every 10 years and the records must be retained for at least 15 years, reinforcing both financial and legal accountability.
