1900 Brickell Avenue / Plastic Surgeon's Office

Residents were alarmed when a sign announcing a spa went up in front of the property that had been promised to be a limited-use, doctor's office.

The City's Zoning and Planning Department reports they are trying to determine if the spa would be a violation of the covenants agreed upon when the initial zoning variances were granted. City Manager Donald Warshaw and Commissioner Johnny Winton are looking into it. The BHA will pursue on all fronts to keeping the spa and commercial encroachment out of residential Brickell.

1900 Brickell Avenue: Maintaining Residential Ambiance?

Despite the protests of BHA neighbors, the buyer of this property at 1900 Brickell Avenue, one of the few remaining single-family residences on Brickell Avenue, was granted zoning variances over two years ago to allow the retrofitting of the house for a plastic surgeon's office, which is ongoing. BHA officials are awaiting the replacement of a tree that was removed from the front of the property without proper permits.
