Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, July 28, 2026 —
Residents of The Club at Brickell Bay in Miami are expressing significant anger and frustration over ongoing problems stemming from short-term rental guests, largely facilitated by platforms such as Airbnb.
The core of the issue lies in the building’s operational status. The Club at Brickell Bay reportedly lacks the necessary city permit required to function as a condo-hotel. Despite this, a substantial portion of its units are listed and utilized for short-term rentals.
The consequences for permanent residents have been a noticeable decline in their living conditions. Complaints cited include frequent and disruptive disturbances, perceived safety hazards, and a general erosion of the quality of life within the condominium complex. These issues are directly attributed to the transient nature of short-term guests.
Residents feel that the city of Miami has been slow to address the situation, expressing dismay over what they describe as a lack of adequate enforcement of existing regulations. The perceived inaction by city authorities exacerbates the residents’ frustration, as they continue to deal with the repercussions of unpermitted short-term rental operations.
The specific details regarding any official complaints filed, timelines for potential enforcement actions, or statements from city officials were not provided in the summary.
