Good to know
Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo condo association?

How many units does Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo have?

Its condominium declaration was recorded on November 16, 1995, according to DBPR. About 56% 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 Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) records RIO GARDENS ASSOCIATION, INC. (document no. N94000003919) as active, file checked October 30, 2026. Its principal address of record is 444 SW 2nd Street Apt. 7, Miami, FL 33130. The registered agent, the association's legal contact for official notices, is ALEMAN CARLOS (Miami, 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 board, the on-site office if there is one, or a unit owner which company manages Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo. 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 Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo association?
Mailing address on file with DBPR: 444 SW 2nd Street #7, Miami, FL 33130. This is the line in Florida DBPR's condominium public-records extract, read November 12, 2026. It is the address the state uses for the association's mail, and it can be out of date; confirm it with the board or the on-site office before sending a condo questionnaire or an estoppel request.
Who developed Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo?
Florida DBPR's Developer Summary Report lists East Little Havana Community Development Corporation as the developer for Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo (project no. PR1S022957), 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 Rio Gardens 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 Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo 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 Rio Gardens, a Townhouse Condo has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
