NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, State of Florida, has received the petition for declaratory statement from Chief Alan R. Cominsky, Fire Marshal, In Re: Miami Dade County Fire Rescue Department, Docket No. 2016023622, filed on May 13, 2016. The petition seeks the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Sections 718.112 and 719.1055, Florida Statutes, as it applies to the petitioner.

Is it the intent of Sections 718.112 and 719.1055, Florida Statutes, to prohibit a local authority having jurisdiction from enforcing provisions of the Florida Fire Prevention Code to mixed use condominiums and cooperatives? Does the presence of short term residential rental units in a building define a condominium or cooperative as a mixed use condominium or cooperative instead of residential?
