State doesn't inspect condos, but building codes are 'robust'

Copy shortlink:
The Florida condo tower that suddenly collapsed last month was up for a mandated 40-year inspection and recertification.
In Minnesota, there is no state requirement for regular inspections of condo buildings. However, the state doesn't face the same risks as Florida and has thorough building codes that date to the 1970s that govern building construction, state officials said.
"Florida's Miami-Dade County program is somewhat unique. … Because we don't share the same risks they do in Florida, people feel more secure here," said Scott McLellan, the state building official at the Department of Labor and Industry. Condo residents "should feel secure in the areas where the building code has been enforced in Minnesota. We have pretty robust building codes."
