From the notice to the city's reinspection
A code violation is a deadline and a problem with the property. We deal with the problem, properly and permitted, so the deadline stops being one.
- 1
You send us the notice
Call or use the form. Tell us what the city cited, the compliance date and any hearing date. The notice usually names the code section and the inspector — keep it handy.
- 2
We look at the property
The estimate is free. We look at exactly what was cited and tell you what fixing it properly involves: a repair, a permit, an after-the-fact permit for work already done, or a final inspection on an old permit.
- 3
You agree the price
Nothing is started until you have the price and say yes. If the inspector will accept a smaller fix than you feared, that is what you will be told.

We do the work — with the permit
360 Home Improvements does the work under our Florida Certified Building Contractor licence (CBC1267336), and roof work under our Certified Roofing Contractor licence (CCC1335340). Electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning work is done by our Florida-licensed subcontractors, who pull that trade's permit.

Ready for reinspection
Permits finaled where a permit was needed, plus photos and paperwork showing the work, so you can ask the city for its reinspection or an affidavit of compliance.
- 6
The case side stays with the city
Fines, hearings and liens are decided by the city's special magistrate or code board. Fixing the violation is the step those processes look for; questions about your case itself go to the code office on your notice, or a Florida attorney.
Why the price comes after the visit
Two notices with the same wording can mean very different jobs: a fence that needs a permit and a final inspection, or one that has to move to meet the setback. What the city will accept, what the permit needs and what is already there are decided by looking at the property — and that look is free.
What to have ready
- The notice: the violation, case number and inspector's contact.
- The compliance date and any hearing date.
- Any permit paperwork you have, old or new.
- Photos of what was cited.
