- Check a manager's license with the DBPR licensee search.

Good to know
Gardens I: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Gardens I condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Gardens I Condominium Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA00004374) as the managing entity for Gardens I, DBPR project no. PR1S008665. The state's spelling is "GARDENS I CONDO ASSN INC".
How many units does Gardens I have?
DBPR records 48 units for Gardens I at Pine Ridge Dr., Fort Lauderdale. That makes it the 213th-largest of the 423 registered condominiums with 20 or more units in Fort Lauderdale.
When was Gardens I established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded in 1980, according to DBPR. About 53% 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 Gardens I association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) lists the association's registered agent, principal address and officers on file. Most day-to-day requests (estoppel certificates, move-ins, rental approval) go through the property manager, which DBPR's register does not name. Ask the front desk, the board or the unit owner for the current manager. 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 Gardens I 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 Gardens I 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 Gardens I has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
