Southern Seas, Lauderdale-By-The-Se
We found no structural integrity reserve study for this 27-unit community at 4520 El Mar Dr in DBPR's database (checked October 5, 2026). That does not mean none was done: DBPR shows only complete submissions, and our match is by name and address.
Habitable stories aren't on file. The county roll lists 1957 as the year built. If its CO was issued in 1957 and it has three or more habitable stories, its first milestone inspection would have been due by December 31, 2024 (s. 553.899(3)(a), F.S.). Whether it was done is on file with the city building department or Broward County Building Code Services.
