West Palm Beach mixes downtown and waterfront condominiums, mid-century neighborhoods and century-old bungalows, and a large share of its owners spend part of the year elsewhere. An empty unit or house on the Intracoastal side faces humidity, salt air and storm surge risk that an inland home does not. Home watch is the arrangement where someone checks the place on an agreed schedule so trouble is found by a person rather than by the owner on return. BeacCorp Property Management offers it; read our vacation home watch guide for the insurance questions to ask first.
Randolph Scott Bell holds Community Association Manager license CAM34850 and the firm license CAB3255, and associations are the work BeacCorp is known for. Condominium documents often set who may hold a key, who may enter during a storm, how long a unit may sit empty before notice is required and whether a water shut-off has to be arranged. Ask your manager or board for those rules before you hire anyone, and see condo association management and BeacCorp in West Palm Beach.
The City of West Palm Beach runs its own permitting through its Development Services Department and the EPL and Civic Access online system, a different path from the Palm Beach County Building Division. In El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park, exterior changes such as a new window opening also need Historic Preservation Board review. If a visit turns up roof or window damage, who must approve the repair depends on which side of that line the house sits. As a certified general contractor (CGC1528750) and roofing contractor (CCC1332751), Randolph can tell you what the repair would involve.
The city's coastal core, downtown and the Intracoastal neighborhoods, falls in the 170 mph design wind band under the Florida Building Code, and much of the low ground carries flood risk, so check the flood zone for your address. Before you leave, agree in writing what happens ahead of a named storm, who is called first and who pays. This page promises no visit times or response times; call (561) 779-3213 to ask how BeacCorp would set up your property.
If a visit finds damage, the repair is covered by our West Palm Beach construction and West Palm Beach roofing pages; owners of an empty lot or large site may want our West Palm Beach land page; and for a gathering when you return, see West Palm Beach food truck.

Often. Condominium documents can set who may enter a unit, who holds keys and what notice is needed for an extended absence, so read them or ask your manager before you leave.

The coastal core sits in the 170 mph wind band and much low ground carries flood risk. An empty property should have a written storm plan, and you should confirm the flood zone for your address.
