A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION DIRECTING AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
ENFORCEMENT OF THE GRAFFITI AND OTHER VIOLATIONS LOCATED AT 320
SOUTHEAST 1 STREET, ALSO KNOWN AS 100 SOUTH BISCAYNE BOULEVARD,
MIAMI, FLORIDA BY NOVEMBER 29, 2024 OR TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO
BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE THEREAFTER SHOULD THE
PROPERTY OWNER FAIL TO DO SO.
WHEREAS, the property structure located at 320 Southeast 1 Street, also known as 100
South Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida ("Property") has been in a state of disrepair for many
years; and
WHEREAS, the Property is owned by Northwestern Capital Corporation ("Property
Owner") who purchased the nineteen (19) story building in 1989; and
WHEREAS, the current assessed market value of the Property by the Miami -Dade
County Property Appraiser is $67,417,005.00; and
WHEREAS, the Property sits right on Biscayne Boulevard in the heart of downtown
Miami across the street from City of Miami's ("City") waterfront and waterfront parks; and
WHEREAS, the Property Owner has allowed the Property to become vandalized,
graffitied, blighted, and abused due to lack of any concern for the condition it has deteriorated
into as well as the effect on the entire downtown Miami community; and
WHEREAS, the Property has been in its current dilapidated state for more than a year
and once again, as the City prepares for its holiday events, many of which have a national
audience, this eyesore remains; and
WHEREAS, the Property has an active demolition permit issued by the City under permit
number BD23-026913-001 since June of 2024 for plans that were not submitted until November
of 2023; and
WHEREAS, the Property Owner is still attempting plans revisions as late as October
2024, stalling the projected demolition of the total Property structure; and
WHEREAS, Code Compliance Case Number 00073257 was opened by the City in
December of 2023 noting, "The property has several permits in progress however the building is
not secured. There are several points of entry into the vacant and unsafe structure: one door is
open, one garage entry point is not completely secured, and several boarded -up entry points
have been broken through. The property has graffiti all throughout the first layer, however there
is graffiti all the way up to the top floors, which Miami Dade Property Appraiser lists at 19
floors."; and
WHEREAS, in almost one (1) year, no progress has been made to secure the structure
or clean up the graffiti that has become a glaring eyesore on downtown Miami; and
WHEREAS, the City Administration is directed to begin taking action to clean up and/or
clear out the Property should the Property Owner fail to do so by November 29, 2024; and
WHEREAS, the City Administration is directed and authorized to take any necessary
action and provided for by the City Code and Florida Statutes to do so;
