It seems the 40 year inspection is required by Miami-Dade county, and this is all work in preparation for that.

The letter the county sends out http://www.miamidade.gov/permits/library/recertification-bui... says: "Failure to submit the required Recertification Report will result in the issuance of a Civil Violation Notice or ticket without further notice to you and referral of this matter to the Unsafe Structures Unit for the initiation of condemnation proceedings"

So to me this makes it seem like some government checks are in place. But curious if there were more recent government backed inspections for safety.
