The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to inform you of recent activity that occurred
at the Quarzo Hotel.
On Wednesday, February 22, 2017, the Miami -Dade Police Department Civil Forfeiture
Unit served a State Civil Forfeiture Action at the Quarzo Boutique Hotel located at 290 Bal
Bay Drive. The civil judgement ordered the seizure of assets totaling $471,000.00. Various
items of real property were removed to include furniture, appliances, computers and
currency.
The hotel allowed registered guests to remain on the premises until their scheduled
departure dates; however, no new guests were allowed to register. The Bal Harbour Police
Department monitored the situation and ensured that no safety concerns arose. Since the
action was taken the police department has received no calls for service at the location.
