What building in San Marco actually involves
- The ground
- Low-lying ground behind the river bulkhead where tidal flooding on Hendricks and the surrounding streets is a known, recurring condition.
- The water
- The river is close and high — finished-floor elevation and backflow protection are live design issues, not paperwork.
- The building stock
- Compact 1920s masonry houses on small lots, where additions have to go up or back rather than sideways.
- The rules
- Permits run through City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division, and city floodplain rules that trigger substantial-improvement review once a renovation passes a value threshold.
