Official notices and legal papers go to the registered agent, the association's legal contact on file with the state.
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.

Confirm the current record on Sunbiz's document-number search (enter N05971): the state's bulk file can lag its website and abbreviates long addresses.

Good to know
Garden View Apts: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Garden View Apts condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Garden View Apts, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA00005985) as the managing entity for Garden View Apts, DBPR project no. PR1S008163. The state's spelling is "GARDEN VIEW APTS, INC.".
How many units does Garden View Apts have?
DBPR records 20 units for Garden View Apts at 520 Orton Ave, Fort Lauderdale. That makes it the 410th-largest of the 423 registered condominiums with 20 or more units in Fort Lauderdale.
When was Garden View Apts established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded on April 4, 1985, according to DBPR. About 72% of Fort Lauderdale's registered condominiums with 20+ 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 Garden View Apts association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) records GARDEN VIEW APTS., INC. (document no. N05971) as active, file checked October 30, 2026. Its principal address of record is 520 ORTON AVE, FT LAUDERDALE, FL 33304, and its mailing address is C/O MG Property Management, 3049 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306. The registered agent, the association's legal contact for official notices, is Johnson Benjamin Regina (Fort Lauderdale, FL). 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 front desk, the board or the unit owner which company manages Garden View Apts. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not the association, so we can't pass requests on to it.
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 Garden View Apts, 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 Garden View Apts 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 Garden View Apts has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
