Gov. Ron DeSantis held another roundtable Thursday with condo owners and association leaders in the wake of recent legislation that affected how buildings are maintained.

They discussed solutions to keep condo buildings safe and DeSantis heard concerns about the cost and implementation of the new legislation.

Last week, DeSantis held a similar roundtable in Miami Lakes.

“I am glad to continue discussions with condo residents about how to best achieve sensible policies regarding condo safety and transparency,” DeSantis said. “I look forward to providing this feedback to the Legislature so the members can produce thoughtful reforms.”

DeSantis has supported legislation that improves condo safety and requires responsible management of association funds.

Earlier this year, DeSantis signed House Bill 1021, which enhanced accountability for condo board members, improved transparency for residents, and strengthened enforcement mechanisms for those found to be out of compliance with safety standards.

DeSantis is working toward relief for condo owners facing assessments and fees as buildings across the state meet new safety requirements and undergo inspections to ensure they remain structurally sound.
