June 17, 2025: Update on our ongoing projects and other miscellaneous items.  

Pool Heaters

The contractor has all material and venting parts ready for installation. They are waiting on the permit being issued by the City of Miami Beach. The City’s system shows a scheduled permit issuance date of June 23, 2025

Transfer Switch Control Panel

The transfer switch control panel was successfully installed last week. To finalize the permit, we have obtained a proposal for an engineer to prepare the revised drawings and calculations. We are waiting to obtain at least a second proposal prior to approve the engineer work.

Elevator Repairs

Repairs have been completed and an inspection from the City of Miami Beach was conducted on June 16.

Concrete Restoration

We’ve successfully completed Phase II of the parking garage concrete restoration. Only Phases III and IV remain.

Our association attorney is diligently working to resolve billing discrepancies with Thornton Tomasetti (TT). We’ve reached out to the attorney multiple times for updates and were informed that TT no longer wishes to continue providing services for the project. We’re currently waiting for our attorney to provide the reasons behind TT’s decision.

In the meantime, the board has acknowledged this development and is actively interviewing other engineering firms to take over the project. We’re in the process of collecting proposals, which will be made available to all unit owners as soon as they’re received
