North Miami removal: settle whose material it is first
Ask the manager whose the source is before you ask anyone what the removal costs. If the water came through a common element, reconstruction after a property loss is the association's to undertake, and you may only rebuild your side with the board's written consent. If it was your own fixture, the job and the policy are yours. Either way, the rebuild permit comes from the City of North Miami for folios beginning 06, and the remediator should be working to a separate assessor's written scope rather than to one it wrote itself.
Whose material the growth is in
Your drywall, the building's wall cavity, or both. The answer decides who hires and who pays.
What the association will do
Ask in writing whether it is treating the loss as its own. Its answer changes your scope.
Whether the water has been stopped
The plumber, the AC contractor or the association fixes the source first; removal comes after.

What mold remediation involves in North Miami
Where the ownership line runs through a North Miami removal
In an older North Miami condo the removal crosses an ownership line before it crosses a room. Florida's condominium act makes the unit owner responsible for insuring the floor, wall and ceiling coverings, water heaters and appliances that serve only the unit, and the association responsible for maintaining the common elements. With 43.5 percent of the city's housing in buildings of 20 or more units and 36.9 percent built before 1960, the drywall you see may be yours while the pipe chase or the exterior wall behind it is not. The protocol should draw that line before a price is written.

North Miami questions about the association and the remediator
The North Miami association says the leak was mine. What should I ask for?
Ask for the basis in writing, and for the assessor's report if the association had one done. If you disagree, an independent assessment of your own is the usual next step before anything is removed. We do not give legal advice on the dispute itself.
Can I hire my own remediator in a North Miami condo?
Often, yes, for your own unit, with the board's prior written consent. The board can set conditions on the method, the contractor's qualifications and the contract, so ask for those before you collect prices.
