This week’s Miami Condo Market Intelligence Report™ newsletter examines whether Florida condo association boards prioritize cosmetic details – such as lobby flower bouquets, hallway air fresheners and courteous but unqualified staff – over substantive issues related to mechanical, electric and plumbing (MEP) components.
Before discounting the notion that condo boards put aesthetics over safety, consider that the allegation comes from a veteran chief building engineer who has overseen the operations of condo towers, office buildings and retail centers in South Florida for more than 30 years.
Carlos Villanueva, principal of SeeWhyConsultingLLC.com in Miami, said many condo board members – who are all volunteers – usually have little to no experience running residential towers.
