Victoria Village "G" Condominium Ass'n v. City of Coconut Creek

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 21, 1986 · Anstead, Dell, Michael, Salmon

488 So. 2d 900; 11 Fla. L. Weekly 1176; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 7906 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Counsel

Neil F. Garfield of Neil F. Garfield, P.A., Lauderhill, for appellant Victoria Village “G” Condominium Assn., Elaine M. Gatsos of Stuart & Walker, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm on the authority of Trianon Park Condominium Assn., Inc. v. City of Hialeah, 468 So.2d 912 (Fla. 1985). In doing so we reject appellant’s contention that the negligent issuance of a certificate of occupancy by a governmental entity may serve as a valid and distinct predicate for liability against such entity separate and apart from the other aspects of that entity’s enforcement of a building code, such as governmental inspection of construction. We construe Trianon Park’s bar of governmental liability for the enforcement of building codes to include the issuance of certificates of occupancy.

ANSTEAD and DELL, JJ., and SALMON, MICHAEL H., Associate Judge, concur.
