What a 1979 oceanfront building means for a buyer
Connemara is well past the age at which Florida requires a milestone structural inspection for condominium buildings three stories or taller, and it is subject to the structural integrity reserve study rules that came with the 2022 condo safety laws. Neither is a red flag on its own — they are documents that exist, and a buyer should read them. Ask the association for the most recent milestone inspection report, the structural integrity reserve study, the current budget with its reserve schedule, and the minutes of the last year of board meetings.
The questions that matter at a building of this age are specific: what repairs the reports called for, whether they have been done or scheduled, how they are being paid for (reserves, a loan or a special assessment), and whether any assessment has been approved but not yet billed. The seller and the association should both be able to answer in writing.
Beach access
Connemara's rules describe a residents' beach gate that opens with a fob, with beach steps and a deck below it. That is the building's own way to the sand; the beach itself is not private.
Pets and leasing
Connemara's rules and regulations (revised October 2013) say no dogs are allowed on the property, apart from dogs approved and registered before July 2001, and that since March 15, 2012 no new pets are allowed except cats, small birds in cages and fish in a tank. They allow each unit to be leased no more than once per season — December 15 to April 15, and April 16 to December 14 — for a term of 30 days to 12 months.
A September 2021 listing for the building also noted "no lease first year," which those rules don't mention; it may come from a later amendment. Get the current declaration, amendments and rules from the association before you rely on any of this.
Condo due diligence at Connemara
Oceanfront condos are bought as much through the association's documents as through the unit itself. Before you commit, get these — and give yourself time in the contract to read them.
Budget and reserves
Get Connemara's current adopted budget and reserve schedule. Look at what is actually in reserve against what the schedule says should be, and how long the roof, elevators, paint and waterproofing have left.
Milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study
Florida requires milestone structural inspections for condominium buildings three stories or taller once they reach a set age, and a structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) for the components that keep the building standing and dry. Where they apply, ask for both reports and read the recommendations, not just the cover page.
Special assessments
Ask the seller and the association, in writing, about any assessment that is approved, proposed or under discussion — and read a year of board minutes, which is usually where a coming assessment shows up first.
Insurance
Get the master policy declarations: wind, flood and deductible. Then price your own unit policy (HO-6), including loss-assessment coverage, before you commit — on the ocean, insurance can move the monthly cost as much as the association fee does.
Pets, leasing and approval
Get the current declaration, bylaws and rules for Connemara. Pet limits, minimum lease terms, leases per year, waiting periods and the buyer-approval process are set by each association and change by amendment.
Cabanas, parking and storage
If Connemara has cabanas, parking spaces or storage units, find out how each is held: deeded as its own parcel, tied to the unit as a limited common element under the declaration, assigned by the association, or rented. Confirm which one (by number) goes with the unit you are buying. Ask what each costs on top of the association fee, whether there is a waitlist, and what transfers with the unit when you sell.
Storm procedures
Ask how Connemara prepares for a hurricane: impact glass or shutters and who installs them, generator coverage, elevator and garage procedures, and what owners must do before leaving for the season. Check the county evacuation zone for the address — it is a barrier island.
