Bathroom remodel in Sunrise, condos too.

A third of the city's housing went up in the 1970s and another 28 percent in the 1980s. About a third of all units are in buildings of 20 or more, and a big share of those are the Sunrise Lakes phases: 55-plus condominiums from 1971 onward, with Phase 2 alone holding 900 homes in 25 buildings. So a Sunrise bathroom for me is usually one of two things: a 1970s or 80s single-family hall bath around Welleby or Sunrise Golf Village, or a condo bath in Sunrise Lakes with an association, an elevator and a building full of neighbors.

• 1983 to June 1988 houses: the city's own utility flags copper pipe joined with lead solder from that period, and runs a testing program with bill credits. I'll point you to it before we touch the supply lines.
• Sunrise Lakes: four phases, independent associations and budgets, 3-to-4-story buildings with elevators. The association's rules on insurance, elevators and hours go on the schedule.
• No mobile homes anywhere in the city, by the city's own count, and no septic areas found in city sources.
• Welleby and the west: 1980s single-family and 1990s gated communities west of Flamingo, newer and usually simpler.

Look up your plant on the city's service-area map, or ask me: it decides how much scale you'll see on frameless glass. Springtree water also recorded a color exceedance in spring 2025, which is why some east-side homeowners notice tint in a white tub. Neither is a problem for a remodel; both are worth knowing when you pick fixtures.

A Sunrise Lakes bathroom is a small room with a big list: the association's approval, a certificate of insurance, an elevator booked for the tile delivery, work hours that respect the neighbors, and a water shut-off that affects the whole riser. I've built that into the schedule before and I do it again every time. For a 55-plus owner, the job is almost always a tub-to-shower conversion with grab bars in real blocking and a bench, and the accessible bathroom page covers exactly that.

If you're doing more than the bathroom, a determination letter from Public Works at 954-572-2490 is cheap insurance.

The city's Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program, funded by CDBG and SHIP, offers a deferred zero-interest loan for health and safety repairs to income-eligible owner-occupants who are current on their mortgage, HOA dues and taxes. The city is explicit that cosmetic remodeling isn't eligible. If a safety-driven bathroom fits, I'll write the itemized quote the application needs.
