STR - City Inspection

[Chris Bluem]

Hi!

I am about to launch my first STR in south Florida. We just got done doing a full renovation. Our city requires a STR license and city inspection.

I was reading through the list of requirements and nothing too bad (although the land line and wired smoke alarms in every bedroom is a pain in the)

Then at the very end, it said the following:

“Work without a permit will be forwarded to the building construction enforcement for investigation “

The place is pristine and completely done. I’m curious if they are going to walk through and pick it apart or dig further when they see how brand new it is. Anyone ever have an issue here?

On the smoke/CO detectors we avoided the expen$e of an electrician (& permits) hard wiring them by using an alarm that features wire-free interconnectivity. If one unit is triggered, all interconnected alarms will sound.  For our multi unit a maximum of 24 devices can be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. This was considered acceptable by the Bldg Insp., & works great. I can't mention the product without the moderators getting in a twist, but I Kidde you not, they are a great product.
