To remain consistent with other local communities it is time to being working on Code Compliance cases where NO PERMITS have been requested for storm mitigation. Failure to obtain a permit indicates one of two things: 1. Home has been restored without permit or inspection 2. Home not been mitigated Restoration of the home without permit or inspection poses a risk to the Town and the public. These homes may contain fire hazard due to faulty or damaged electrical wiring or devices. They may also contain molds, mildews, or bacteria on or in the walls, creating a biohazard. Failure to mitigate framing members damaged by termites or replacing damaged members incorrectly may create future structural damage. Failure to mitigate the storm damage is similar to doing work without a permit. Molds, mildews and bacteria grow quickly in the warmer months. Electric wiring will corrode then arc, creating a fire hazard. The Building Official has reviewed the full list of homes with no permit application. All homes that are already NFIP compliant have been removed from the list. Homes without living space below the Base Flood Elevation are considered NFIP compliant. A courtesy letter (example attached) is the first step in beginning the process to make these homes safe. We will send the letters out immediately. On June 1st we will look at all homes that have not responded to the letter. Homes that have had NO MITIGATION will begin the compliance process as outlined in our Town Code. We will follow each step of the code until compliance is achieved. Homes that have been restored without permit will be given every opportunity to come into compliance before we begin the aforementioned process. May 1, 2025 Dear Resident: In 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused damage to virtually every building in our town. Your home sustained damage and to-date there has been no action to make your home safe, secure or sanitary. This is hazardous to you and to our community. You must take necessary steps to begin the remediation of your structure by June 1, 2025. Failure to bring your home into compliance with Town of Redington Shores building codes (Article III of Chapter 103*) will result in further steps to deem the property unfit and unsafe. Following that determination, an initial notice of violation (stating the requirements to secure or repair, and/or an initial notice of condemnation/order to demolish requiring demolition and removal) will be delivered to the owner of record and other interested parties as set forth in section 103-74. To avoid these actions, please contact the Town Building Department immediately in person or by phone at 727-397-5538 to begin the process to bring your home into compliance. We want to work with residents to build back our community.

UNFIT/UNSAFE STRUCTURES ARTICLE III. UNFIT/UNSAFE STRUCTURES 1 Sec. 103-70. Unfit or unsafe dwellings or structures. When a dwelling or other structure including an accessory structure or manmade body of water, is found to be unfit or unsafe upon inspection by the building official, the building official shall require the repair, securing, demolition or removal thereof. For this division, the term "structure" includes all buildings, dwellings, accessory structures, and manmade bodies of water and any part or portion thereof. (Ord. No. 2023-08, § 1, 8-9-2023) Sec. 103-71. Notice of violation; notice of condemnation/order to demolish. When the building official verifies the existence of a structure which is unfit or unsafe, the building official shall determine the owner of record of the real estate upon which the structure is located and shall provide an initial notice of violation stating the requirements to secure or repair, and/or an initial notice of condemnation/order to demolish requiring demolition and removal to the owner of record and other interested parties as set forth in section 103-74. (Ord. No. 2023-08, § 1, 8-9-2023) Sec. 103-72. Authority to order demolition, removal, securing, etc. A. If the conditions identified in the notice are not remedied within the time set forth in the notice, the building official shall order the vacation, demolition, removal or securing of any unfit or unsafe structure when any such part, by reason of inadequate maintenance, fire, age, decay, deterioration, structural defects, improper design, unstable foundation, termites, affording the opportunity of being a nuisance to the public or a haven for vagrants or criminals, acts of God or other causes, shall be dangerous to the occupants thereof or to surrounding buildings and the occupants thereof, a menace to public health, a fire hazard or so unsafe as to endanger life or property or render the use of the public streets dangerous. Notice of the order shall be provided as set forth in section 103-74. B. When a structure is required to be secured, open windows and doors shall be secured with exterior plywood and suitably coated with an appropriate neutral color blending with or harmonizing with the exterior colors of the building so as to be as inconspicuous as possible. When securing with exterior plywood is not possible because existing structural damage or design features will not support a sound, secure application of plywood or for any other reason, the building official shall order securing against access and shall specify the industrial standard method and materials to be installed. Manmade bodies of water must be secured in a manner so as to eliminate any drowning or infection hazard, or must be filled completely with clean fill dirt or sand and adequate drainage provided so that water is not retained, does not accumulate and does not pond. Editor's note(s)—Ord. No. 2023-08, § 1, adopted August 9, 2023, set out provisions intended for use as art. III, §§ 1 103-40—103-54. To avoid the duplication of section numbers and at the editor's discretion, these provisions have been included as art. III, §§ 103-70—103-84.
