Day-to-day requests (condo questionnaires, estoppel certificates, insurance certificates, move-ins, rental approval) go to the management company, which may be a different firm from the agent. Ask the board, the on-site office if there is one, or a unit owner which company manages El Lago, and check its license with the DBPR licensee search.

Good to know
El Lago: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the El Lago condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers El Lago N.W. 7th Condominium Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA00000132) as the managing entity for El Lago, DBPR project no. PR1S003547. The state's spelling is "EL LAGO N.W. 7TH CONDO ASSOC., INC.".
How many units does El Lago have?
DBPR records 144 units for El Lago at 5505 & 5501 NW 7th St, Miami. That makes it the 327th-largest of the 1,519 registered condominiums with 10 or more units in Miami.
When was El Lago established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded on September 2, 1981, according to DBPR. About 27% of Miami's registered condominiums with 10+ units were recorded in an earlier year. A recorded date marks when the building became a condominium, which is not necessarily when it was built.
How do I contact the El Lago association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) records EL LAGO N.W. 7TH CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. (document no. 757813) as active, file checked October 30, 2026. Its principal address of record is 5501 5505 NW 7 STREET, MIAMI, FL 33126, and its mailing address is 5000 S W 75 AVE, MIAMI, FL 33155. The registered agent, the association's legal contact for official notices, is VILAR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT (address of record 5000 S W 75 AVE, MIAMI, FL 33155). Day-to-day requests such as condo questionnaires, estoppel certificates and insurance certificates go to the management company, which may be a different firm; ask the board, the on-site office if there is one, or a unit owner which company manages El Lago. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not the association, so we can't pass requests on to it.
What mailing address does the state have on file for the El Lago association?
Mailing address on file with DBPR: c/o Vilar Property Management, 5000 SW 75 Ave, Miami, FL 33155. This is the line in Florida DBPR's condominium public-records extract, read November 12, 2026. A care-of line shows where the state addresses the association's mail. It can be out of date, and the firm on it may be a manager, an accountant or a law office, so confirm the current management company with the board or the on-site office before sending a condo questionnaire or an estoppel request.
Who developed El Lago?
Florida DBPR's Developer Summary Report lists Shore Point, Inc. as the developer for El Lago (project no. PR1S003547), as read November 12, 2026. That is the legal entity on DBPR's file, which may differ from the brand a building was marketed under.
I'm a lender or title company. Who completes the condo questionnaire and provides the insurance certificate?
The association or its management company — not Miami Condo HQ. We are an independent research website with no access to El Lago N.W. 7th Condominium Association, Inc.'s records, so we can't complete condo questionnaires, issue estoppel certificates or supply master insurance policies. Ask the unit owner or the building for the current property manager, or look up the association's registered agent and principal address in Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz).
Does El Lago need a milestone inspection or a structural integrity reserve study?
Florida's 2022 condominium safety law (SB 4-D, amended since) requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many condominium buildings, depending on height, age and distance from the coast. DBPR's register does not say whether El Lago has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
What is El Lago's 40-year recertification status?
The City of Miami's 40-year recertification data lists a building at 5505 & 5501 NW 7th St. Latest record: Building 1: recertification year 2022, certification status "Pending", process status "submitted and NOT approved". The city last updated this data on October 29, 2026; we checked it on October 29, 2026. Ask the association for its current recertification letter and any milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) reports.
