None of it is a final, binding judgment.
Item What the record shows Source and date Court and number Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County (trial court). Case 2022-020799-CA-01. ACIS writes it 22-20799-CA-01.

The verdict form is signed December 10, 2025 and carries the court's filing stamp of December 11. On it, the jury answers in favor of the plaintiff owners on the claims against the two companies.

Verdict form (copy published by CCFJ), read October 20, 2026 Claims against the association NBC Miami (December 18, 2025) reported that, according to court records, the claims against the association and its board members were dismissed.

ACIS classifies them as "NOA Final" (a notice of appeal from a final decision) or as a petition for review ("Certiorari"). ACIS, October 20, 2026 The four appellate dockets, per ACIS on October 20, 2026:
Docket Who appeals or seeks review What the docket shows 3D2025-2249 (closed) D&R, with a petition for review ("certiorari") filed on November 17, 2025 On November 18, 2025 the court temporarily stayed the trial court proceedings. On November 24, 2025 it denied the petition and the request for a stay. 3D2026-1632 (open) The plaintiff owners, on July 29, 2026. Appellees: D&R and SFCM. On September 18, 2026 the record on appeal and the transcript were filed. On October 6, 2026 the court struck the initial brief for not following a rule of form. On October 14, 2026 the amended initial brief was filed. 3D2026-1781 (open in ACIS) The plaintiff owners, on August 19, 2026. Appellees: SFCM and the association. On October 1, 2026 the court granted the appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal and its request for attorneys' fees and costs, and sent the matter back to the trial court to set the amount of the fees and costs. On October 12, 2026 the appellants asked for reconsideration and reinstatement. 3D2026-1802 (open) D&R, on August 20, 2026. On October 9, 2026 the court stayed this appeal until the mandate (the appellate court's final order) issues in 3D2026-1632. What the public records do not show is held by the building's association. Ask for it in writing and keep the answers:
- The document setting the special assessment in force: amount, the unit's balance and the payment schedule. If the association took out a loan for the work, ask who pays it and how. The guide on the extra condo charge explains what to ask for.
- The recertification status: the city's notice, the report filed and the letter with which the city closed it, if they exist. The guide on 40-year building recertification explains each step.
- The state structural inspection report (milestone) and the SIRS with its reserve plan. If the association does not have them, ask it to say so in writing.
- The effect of the court case: if it has any effect on what the association charges, ask it to explain in writing. A Florida attorney can read the file with you.
- The minutes of the last two years and the unit's account statement letter (the "estoppel": what the unit owes the association and the charges in force).
- If you plan to use an FHA loan: ask your lender about the HUD list and about single-unit approval. The guide on a condo with an FHA loan explains how to read the list.
- Whether there is any "Unsafe Structures" case (the process a jurisdiction opens when a structure does not meet the building code). The guide on Unsafe Structures in Miami-Dade explains it.
