Opinion of the Court

BOKOR, J.

The City of Miami appeals the entry of a temporary injunction against demolition of an unsafe structure. Because the trial court did not make specific factual findings as to all four required elements for a temporary injunction, we reverse and remand for the trial court to reconsider its ruling and, if such injunction is again granted, to include express findings as to all four elements. See Angelino v. Santa Barbara Enters., LLC, 2 So. 3d 1100, 1103 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009) (“A temporary injunction that merely recites legal conclusions is insufficient to support its entry.”); Phelan v. Trifactor Sols., LLC, 312 So. 3d 1036, 1039 (Fla. 2d DCA 2021) (reversing and remanding temporary injunction where trial court did not make express findings as to all four required elements for a temporary injunction).

Reversed and remanded with instructions.

Thus, in keeping with the requirements of rule 1.610 and longstanding case law interpreting the rule, we conclude that the failure to address this element in the injunction order necessitates reversal.
