This statute (formerly HB837) provides multifamily property owners a presumption against liability for negligent security claims if they obtain and implement recommendations from a certified CPTED practitioner. And they “remain in substantial compliance” meaning that property owners must consistently uphold the seven required crime prevention measures (like lighting, security cameras, crime prevention training, etc.)—not just implement them once, but maintain them over time in a meaningful, ongoing way.
The statute requires a security assessment at least once every three years to maintain the presumption against liability.
The law requires assessments from certified Florida Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Practitioners (FCPs). Triple C Security Consulting is fully certified and listed in the state directory. Assessments is conducted by either: A law enforcement agency; or A Florida Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Practitioner (FCP) certified under state guidelines.
Without compliance, your property may face increased liability exposure for negligent security claims, potentially resulting in costly litigation and settlements.
Triple C Security Consulting understands the urgency of compliance and can typically schedule assessments within 30 days, with reports delivered promptly after completion.
