constitute a fire hazard, or are otherwise dangerous to human life, or which in relation to existing
use, constitute a hazard to safety or health, are considered unsafe buildings or service systems. All
such unsafe buildings, structures or service systems are hereby declared illegal and shall be ordered
by the building official to be abated by the owner, through repair and rehabilitation or by
demolition in accordance with the this Code. The extent of repairs shall be determined by the

official to continue with maintaining such building, structure, or system; or create liability for any
damage to the property.

of attendance is defined as a failure to attend three (3) consecutive meetings or a failure to attend more
than one-half of the meetings scheduled during a calendar year. Participation for less than three-fourths
of a meeting shall be the same as a failure to attend a meeting. Members removed pursuant to this
provision shall not continue to serve on the board and such removal shall create a vacancy.
113.2.3 Quorum and voting. A simple majority of the board shall constitute a quorum. In varying any
provision of this code, the affirmative votes of the majority present, but not less than three affirmative
votes, shall be required. In modifying a decision of the building official, not less than four affirmative
votes, but not less than a majority of the board, shall be required. In the event that regular members are
unable to attend a meeting, the alternate members, if appointed, shall vote.
113.2.4 Secretary of board. The building official or his/her authorized representative shall act as
secretary of the board and shall make a record of all of its proceedings, which shall set forth the reasons
for its decision, the vote of each member, the absence of a member, and any failure of a member to

113.3 Powers. The Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall have the power, as further defined
in 113.4 of this code, to hear appeals of decisions and interpretations of the building official and
consider variances of the technical codes.
113.4 Appeals.
113.4.1 Decision of the building official. The owner of a building, structure or service system, or duly
authorized agent, may appeal a decision of the building official to the Building Board of Adjustment and
Appeals whenever any one of the following conditions are claimed to exist:
1. The building official rejected or refused to approve the mode or manner of construction proposed to
be followed or materials to be used in the installation or alteration of a building, structure or service
system.
2. The provisions of this code do not apply to this specific case.
3. That an equally good or more desirable form of installation can be employed in any specific case,
which the building official has rejected or refused.
4. The true intent and meaning of this code or any of the regulations hereunder have been misconstrued
or incorrectly interpreted.
113.4.2 Variances. The Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals, when upon written request, has
been so appealed to and after a hearing, may vary the application of any provision of this code to any
particular case when, in its opinion, the enforcement thereof would do manifest injustice and would be
contrary to the spirit and purpose of this or the technical codes or public interest, and also finds all of
the following:
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building, structure or service
system involved and which are not applicable to others.
2. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action or inaction of the
applicant.
3. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is
denied by this code to other buildings, structures or service system.
4. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the
building, structure or service system.
5. That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this code and
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
113.4.2.1 Conditions of the variance. In granting the variance, the board may prescribe a reasonable
time limit within which the action for which the variance is required shall be commenced or completed
or both. In addition, the board may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with
this code. Violation of the conditions of a variance shall be deemed a violation of this code.
113.4.3 Notice of appeal. Notice of appeal shall be in writing and filed within 30 calendar days after the
building official renders the decision. Appeals shall be in a form acceptable to the building official.
113.4.4 Unsafe or dangerous buildings or service systems. In the case of a building, structure or service
system, which in the opinion of the building official, is unsafe, unsanitary or dangerous, the building
official may, in the order, limit the time for such appeals to a shorter period.
113.5 Procedures of the board
113.5.1 Rules and regulations. The board shall establish rules and regulations for its own procedure not
inconsistent with the provisions of this code. The board shall meet on call of the chairman, subsequent
to a request to call a meeting by the secretary. The board shall meet within 30 calendar days after notice
of appeal has been received.
113.5.1.1 Rules of Evidence. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply, but fundamental due process
should be observed and govern the proceedings. Upon determination by the chairman, irrelevant,
immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded, but all other evidence of a type commonly
relied upon by reasonable, prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs shall be admissible, whether
or not such evidence would be admissible in a trial in the courts of Florida. Any part of the evidence may
be received in written form. The Board may request certain evidence from the petitioner to be provided
by an architect or engineer registered in the State of Florida, in which case, said evidence shall be
signed, sealed, and dated.
113.5.1.2 Testimony. Any member of the Board or the attorney representing the Board may inquire of,
or question, any witness before the Board. Any member of the Board, the petitioner or his/her attorney,
and/or the building official shall be permitted to inquire of any witness before the Board. The Board may
consider testimony presented by the building official, the petitioner, or any other witness.
113.5.2 Decisions. The Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals shall, in every case, reach a decision
without unreasonable or unnecessary delay. Each decision of the board shall also include the reasons
for the decision. If a decision of the board reverses or modifies a refusal, order, or disallowance of the
building official or varies the application of any provision of this code, the building official shall
immediately take action in accordance with such decision. Every decision shall be promptly filed in
writing in the office of the building official and shall be open to public inspection. A certified copy of the
decision shall be sent by mail or otherwise to the appellant and a copy shall be kept publicly posted in
the office of the building official for two weeks after filing. Every decision of the board shall be final;
subject however to such remedy as any aggrieved party might have at law or in equity.
113.6 Local Construction Regulation Board. The local government may also utilize this Board to
convene as the Local Construction Regulation Board (LCRB), as provided in Florida Statute 489.113. The
LCRB may deny, suspend, revoke or limit the authority of a certified contractor to obtain a building
permit or permit with specific conditions, if the LCRB has found such contractor, through public hearing,
to be guilty of fraud or a willful building code violation within the county or municipality that the LCRB
represents. The LCRB may also, deny, suspend, revoke or limit the authority of a certified contractor to
obtain a building permit or permit with specific conditions, if it has proof through the public hearing
process, that a contractor has been found guilty in another county or municipality within the past 12
months, of fraud or a willful building code violation and after providing notice of an opportunity to be
heard to the contractor, finds that such fraud or violation would have been fraud or a violation if
committed in the county or municipality that the LCRB represents. Notification of and information
concerning such permit denial shall be submitted to the division within 15 days after the LCRB decides to
deny the permit.
