NOTE:**


We are seeking your assistance with reviewing and granting us vertical accessibility waiver as it has been requested as part of our building department plan review from the City of Miami Process# BD22-025585-001. Due to the size of building located at 532 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33136 it is impossible to add an elevator since there is no space in the current structure to add an elevator. Our building is only two floors. We have plans and a survey demonstrating this which will be attached. In addition, the cost of adding the elevator is almost over 40% of the overall job value which is an extremely high cost for this addition. Please assist us with this matter. Thank you for your consideration and time.
