Incorrect WMI (Wind Mitigation Inspection) and Florida roofing codes
![Connie P](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/media/profile/2021/08/22/41491_1.jpg?size=91x91)
Late last year, our homeowner's insurance company did their own WMI and today, we acquired a copy of the new report which states that our roof doesn't meet either the FBC 2001, nor the pre-existing SFBC-94 code AND consists of a roof-deck attachment of 6d nails spaced 12" in the field.
According to what I've found online, since the roof was reroofed (by a previous owner) after the permit date of 3/2012 (the permit was applied for 4/2012), are we illegally out of code? If so, what do we do?
I have to be honest: I'm REALLY stressing out about this because this discrepancy is costing us an extra $1K a year in insurance premiums. So I freely admit that I'm probably casting about for whatever remedy I can find to lessen or mitigate our HI costs.
Any advice? Please? Thanks much in advance!
