Building Safety Inspection (BSIP) in Coconut Creek

Who runs it

Coconut Creek’s current adopted budget says Building Services administers building permits that include the Building Safety Inspection Program, alongside special event permits and assessments of unsafe structures. On the city’s website, building permits come under the Building Department, which its page also calls the Building Division, within Resilient Design and Development, formerly Sustainable Development.

Where the city points

The Building Department’s page has a Building Safety Program section, and the section’s link leads to Broward County’s Building Safety Inspection Program page. Coconut Creek does not restate the county’s rules there; the county’s ages and times are set out in the rows above, while the date that binds each building is the one on its letter.

Mitigation audit education

Under the same Building Safety Program heading, the city says it offers community education on mitigation audits for older homes, businesses and local government buildings, as part of Emergency Management and Safety. The section does not say how that education relates to the inspection and reports the county program requires.

The permit table

Coconut Creek’s Permit Types and Requirements page has a table of required forms and documentation, and one of its columns is headed “BSIP Inspection Form”. The page neither links nor explains that form, and a search of the city’s website for BSIP returns that page alone; which form the column means is the first thing we ask the Building Department.

Filing the report

The city’s pages do not say where or how a BSIP report is filed. For permits, the Building Department’s page says contractors apply through ePermits and that uploads must be regular unlocked PDF files, not PDF portfolios; whether the reports take the same route is a question we put to the department before filing.

The budgets on the program

Coconut Creek’s previous adopted budget gave the Building Division an objective to streamline the Building Safety Inspection Program for efficiency in reporting and tracking. The current one lists that among the division’s accomplishments, and its General Fund overview shows an increase in professional services to conduct the county’s program.

Two budgets, two names

The previous budget called this work the 40-year-old Building Inspection process; in the same place, the current one names the Building Safety Inspection Program. The ages that govern are set by the county, under “First due” and “Then” in the rows above; they are not taken from either budget.

What the pages omit

Coconut Creek’s pages leave several things unsaid: who issues the notice and how it reaches an owner, how the reports are reviewed, how repairs under the program are permitted, and what happens if a report comes in late. For those, the letter your building received, if one has come, and the rows above are the guides; anything else has to be asked of the Building Department.
