Watergarden, Fort Lauderdale
A structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) is on file with the state for this 315-unit community at 347 North New River Dr East, completed November 12, 2024 by an engineer (DBPR's SIRS database, as of October 5, 2026).
The association reports 32 floors and a 2004 construction year. If its certificate of occupancy (CO) was issued in 2004, its first milestone inspection is probably due by December 31, 2029 under a local 25-year clock (s. 553.899(3)(b), F.S.). City of Fort Lauderdale Development Services (Permitting Services) applies a 25-year clock inside its limits (its page). These dates use it. If the building is outside the limits (the registry's city can differ from the permitting city), a CO in 2004 would give December 31, 2034.
SIRS completed November 12, 2024.
