How the Building Safety Inspection Program runs in Pembroke Park
In Pembroke Park the Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP) runs through the Town of Pembroke Park Building Department, at Town Hall. The Town’s program page is a set of documents: a master packet, the Town’s own submittal application, the county’s uniform permit application, a Property Appraiser report, the Board of Rules and Appeals’ policy and the two inspection forms. Here is what those documents say; the county’s deadlines are in the rows further down.
- The Town’s application
- Pembroke Park’s Building Safety Inspection Report Submittal Application asks for the property’s folio number and the building’s square footage, the owner or association and its agent, and the licensed professionals on the job — a structural engineer or architect first, a second engineer or architect after. Its application type marks the inspection cycle, or a Repairs Required Submittal.
- Its checklist
- At its top, the Town’s application lists what the package must include: the Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, the structural and the electrical Building Safety Inspection Report Forms, the Broward County Property Appraiser’s report and a cover letter from the architect or structural engineer, with repair recommendations where they are required.
- The notice number
- The Town’s application has a line for the tracking number from the notification, so the letter is worth keeping. Pembroke Park’s program page does not say who sends it; the Board’s policy posted there has the Building Official notify the owner or association by certified mail, return receipt, once the county’s yearly list arrives.
- The master packet
- The BSIP Master Packet on the Town’s page starts with the submittal application and continues with pages that mark where each piece goes, among them one headed for the Property Appraiser report to be inserted. Filed in that order, the package reaches the Building Department the way the Town lays it out.
- Sending it now
- The Town says it is moving its permitting from Gov-Easy to a new online system with CivicPlus, and the old system is offline for self-submissions. Until the change is complete, its Online Permitting System page has applications, forms and required documents e-mailed to the Building Department, each with a Building Department Transmittal Form; without one, a submission is returned.
- Repairs
- When the report calls for repairs, the Town’s application has a Repairs Required Submittal type, with room for the permit numbers of the repairs, and its checklist asks for the repair recommendations in the cover letter where required. The program page says nothing more about repairs, so the Building Department sets the steps after them.
- The policy posted
- The Board of Rules and Appeals’ policy on Pembroke Park’s page is the edition in force for the county. The times in the rows further down come from it; the page itself adds no time of its own and describes no extension.

Questions & answers
Questions boards in Pembroke Park ask
What does Pembroke Park ask for with a BSIP report?
The Town’s own submittal application, plus the Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, both Building Safety Inspection Report Forms, the Property Appraiser’s report and a cover letter from the architect or structural engineer, carrying repair recommendations where required. The complete BSIP inspection and report we deliver is assembled against that checklist.
How do we send a BSIP package to Pembroke Park right now?
By e-mail to the Building Department, with a Building Department Transmittal Form, while the Town moves from Gov-Easy to its new CivicPlus system; its page says a submission without that form is returned without further processing. The transmittal form itself also offers hand delivery and mail, so we confirm with the Town which route it wants for the BSIP.
Who sends the BSIP notice in Pembroke Park?
The Town’s program page does not say. The Board’s policy it posts has the Building Official notify the owner or association by certified mail, return receipt, after the county’s yearly list arrives, and the Town’s application asks for the tracking number from that notification. A picture of the letter taken with a phone is all we need to read it.
How long do we have to file the BSIP report in Pembroke Park?
The times are Broward’s, shown above under “Time to file” and “If repairs are needed”, and they come from the Board’s policy that the Town posts. Pembroke Park’s page adds no extension procedure of its own. If the date on your Pembroke Park letter is close, send it to us without waiting.
Is the Pembroke Park BSIP what used to be called the 40-year recertification?
Yes. The Town’s own application still offers the 40-year label as one of its inspection types, beside the first inspection and the later cycles, and the program page calls the form a recertification application. It is one program; the ages that apply now are listed in the rows above.
