Hallandale Beach homes

We know Hallandale Beach homes

The city's own timeline says Henry Flagler recruited Luther Halland to found a settlement south of Dania, first called Halland. The Town of Hallandale was created on May 11, 1927. In 1947 it was reincorporated and the legislature allowed it to annex from Federal Highway east to the ocean.

All of Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (FBC 2023 §1620). Each door needs a Miami-Dade NOA or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval.

Neighborhoods

Where the door goes

• Golden Isles

  Single-family and apartments

  The city's comprehensive-plan introduction says that by 1968 Golden Isles had 7,000 residents in 125 single-family homes and 2,000 apartment units. The coastal element adds that single-family waterfront homes are present there.

  For your doors: Golden Isles has both waterfront houses and apartments, so a house is measured on its own and an apartment follows that board's door style.

  Comprehensive plan, introduction

• Three Islands

  High-rise condominiums

  The transportation element says Three Islands Boulevard serves high-rise condominiums, about 15 stories, and lower villa buildings on three islands surrounded by the Venetian, Desoto, and Intracoastal waterways.

  For your doors: Three Islands is a high-rise condominium district, so the board's specs set the door style.

  Comprehensive plan, transportation element

• Ro-Len Lake Gardens

  1962 co-op

  The introduction element says Ro-Len Lake Gardens Apartments was the first large co-op complex, in 1962.

  For your doors: Ro-Len Lake Gardens is a co-op from 1962, so the association's specs set the door style and we measure the original openings.

Jobs over $5,000 need a recorded notice of commencement (Fla. Stat. §713.135). You sign; we record it.

Wind code for doors

All of Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (FBC 2023 §1620). The engineer or the county wind load chart sets each wall's design pressure, and the door's approval has to meet it.

Doors up to 30 feet are tested with the large missile, a 9-pound 2x4. Above 30 feet, the small-missile test (steel balls) applies (FBC 2023 §1626).

Canal, lake and golf-course lots stay Exposure C. Oceanfront sites with a long open-water fetch may be Exposure D; we confirm the exposure for each address.

Under BORA Formal Interpretation #24, a house or townhouse under 30 feet can use a sealed site plan, a sealed worst-case chart, or Broward's voluntary wind-load chart. At 30 feet or more, the interpretation requires a sealed site-specific design, and generic charts are not accepted.

Condos and HOAs

Under §718.113(5) the board sets hurricane-protection specs and can't refuse a unit that follows them, though it can require the building's existing look.

Under §720.3035(6) an HOA can't deny impact doors that meet the specs it adopted.
