Reserve study or SIRS?

Florida Statutes section 718.112(2)(g) requires a residential condominium association to have a structural integrity reserve study, at least every 10 years, for each of its buildings that is three habitable stories or higher. A traditional reserve study covers the association's wider list of reserve components and does not on its own satisfy that requirement unless its scope and the professional preparing it meet the statute. See the SIRS guide for what the statute requires.
