It seems that many condominium associations are ignoring Florida law, and are pressuring Owners to waste their money buying windows on the retail market. Some Boards are sending threatening letters to Owners in what almost amounts to extortion!

If your Condominium Association has not repaired or replaced your windows, call the Fort Lauderdale Code Enforcement Department. Your windows must operate smoothly, have screens, be watertight, and have no broken panes or frames. This is the minimum housing requirement. You can reach the Code Enforcement Department at 954-828-5207. When you make your report, insist on a callback and a site visit.
