Local code

Building types and code rules for Pembroke Park commercial roofs

Broward County is one of two counties in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so Pembroke Park roofs fall under the strongest wind provisions in the Florida Building Code. The Census puts 35.9 percent of Broward homes in buildings of 10 or more units, so many commercial jobs here are multi-unit roofs.

Products used in this zone need statewide product approval. Ask for the Florida Building Commission approval number for each membrane and check it in the public product approval search. Do not accept a verbal claim that a product is hurricane rated.

  • Minimum slope of one-fourth unit in 12 on new low-slope decks
  • Positive drainage that clears water within 48 hours of rain
  • Secondary overflow drains or scuppers where a parapet can trap water
  • Inspection before the membrane is fully concealed

What should a property manager compare in roofing bids?

Compare the product approval numbers, the slope and drainage design, the overflow plan and the inspection stages. Check that the contractor will pull the HVHZ permit and inspect the membrane before it is covered. Pembroke Park has 6,260 residents and 3,698 housing units, so check that each bid covers every building.

Do Pembroke Park low-slope roofs need extra drainage?

Yes, when the roof perimeter extends above the roof and can trap water. The code requires secondary drains or scuppers in that case. Drainage design also has to account for rainfall, and Fort Lauderdale Airport averages 60.95 inches of rain a year.
