Only 5/6 washers, 5/6 dryers available and of course not all of them work. Laundry: If you live in the studio, you don't get a washer, so you have to use the laundry on the 10th floor. So if there ever is a fire, nobody would leave thinking it's a false alarm. When there is a fire alarm, the fire department are supposed to be automatically called. So enjoy that one, especially if you have a baby! I called the chief fire officer for the area and he had no idea this was going on. Fire alarm: Expect the fire alarm to go off regularly, always a false alarm, but all sorts of times night and day. Just so you know, when the elevators are bad, you might as well stay home that day. You must take the elevator, this is a super tall building. The worst experience I've had is only have 2 of them actually working and I couldn't get into my apartment with my groceries. Which means on a bad day you can wait 20 minutes for an elevator. Elevators: Most of the time there is an issue with 1–2 elevators. I also could NEVER enjoy my balcony because it always stinks. Sadly, I'm allergic – I know it sucks for me, but if your neighbor smokes you will inhale everything. The stench of weed into my apartment was so strong it made me sick. I got so tired of people drunk and high smashing my door and coming and going all hours. If you like drugs the Opera Tower is the place for you. Security doesn't care if you're drunk and causing a scene, they don't care if homeless people outside are attacking you. Security: As I mentioned above you can get into the building, it's easy. People want to party in Miami, I get it, but during a pandemic is a joke, put all residents at risks, but nobody cares.

People from all over were staying at the Opera Tower because they could get in on the garage level, sneaking by security (thanks real estate agents you know who you are). Up to 8/9 people were staying in one apartment in the Opera Tower sometimes.

However, during peak Covid we had people coming and going all the time, with next to no security and nobody following mask mandates, etc. Or anything, just a couple of active shooters within a couple of months. Building lock down and again, no formal explanation of what to do, what appended. First few months: Two active shooters (who I later found out were AirBnB guests), which leads me to my next point.
