Miami-Dade woman accused of operating unlicensed cosmetic post-op recovery home


MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A 44-year-old woman from northwest Miami-Dade was arrested Tuesday on accusations that she was running an unlicensed cosmetic post-operative recovery home.

According to her arrest report, Miami-Dade police responded Tuesday to a home, located at 1790 NW 109th St., that was operating as Wow Recovery.

Police said Yudania Reinoso-Gomez, who is a Cuban national, was also discovered to be “illegally dumping human medical waste of a hazardous and biologically dangerous nature.”

According to the report, police inspected the trash bins outside the home and found large amounts of bandages, adult diapers, gloves, medical absorbent pads, medical gowns and bed pads in regular white trash bags.

Police said the items were saturated with human fecal matter, blood and urine, “thereby creating a credible and actual biological hazard to the well-being and safety of the public.”

Police said Reinoso-Gomez did not put warning labels or signs on the regular trash bins indicating that medical waste was within the containers.

Inside the home, officers found five women who were in different stages of post-operative recovery, authorities said.

Police said three employees inside the home were questioned and said they provided various assistance to the patients, including by helping them bathe, dress and eat, as well as provided transportation services to them.

According to the report, the patients told the officers they were charged between $200 and $300 a night at the facility.

Port to court: Miami-Dade approves eminent domain move in Fisher Island fuel yard fight

Port to court: Miami-Dade approves eminent domain move in Fisher Island fuel yard fight


Miami-Dade is going to court to seize a fuel yard it passed on buying.

In an 11-1 vote, the County Commission authorized Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to pursue eminent domain against the privately owned fuel depot on Fisher Island that supplies PortMiami.

The move targets a roughly 10-acre fuel tank farm that Chicago-based developer HRP Group purchased last year for about $180 million and later offered to sell to Miami-Dade for $400 million.

Levine Cava and the Commission balked at the offer this month, calling the price unreasonable for the depot, which has served the port for more than a century.

Commissioner Raquel Regalado, who cast the sole “no” vote, warned against running headfirst into a potentially costly property-seizure fight.

“This is a decision that will impact this county for the next 50 years,” she said. “It should not be made lightly.”

Commissioner Oliver Gilbert, who is running for Congress, sponsored the authorizing resolution. He told reporters after Tuesday’s vote that it’s “insane” to expect to buy a property and flip it only months later at a more than 100% markup, the Miami Herald reported.

Cruise industry executives from MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean appeared at County Hall in support of the measure, characterizing it as vital to the port’s future.

Under Florida’s eminent domain law, Miami-Dade must now observe a 30-day negotiation window before it can formally file a petition for the property.

Deputy Mayor Roy Coley said the county wants to settle on terms Levine Cava would accept, but stopped short of saying whether Fisher Island residents — who are suing both the county and HRP — would be part of those talks.

If no agreement is reached, a jury will set the price.

HRP blamed the county for the issue, saying in a statement cited by NBC Miami that “years and, frankly, decades of failure to plan for PortMiami infrastructure” led to the current impasse. The company said it intends to contest the taking and see its planned residential projects through.

HRP’s local partners in the venture include “condo king” Jorge Perez’s Related Group and developer Russell Galbut, a former Board Chair of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

Tuesday’s vote follows months of political turbulence that early this month resulted in the ouster — announced as resignations — of two senior officials, Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morales and Port Director Hydi Webb, as criticism mounted over how the county managed negotiations.

Miami-Dade had repeatedly let opportunities to acquire the property to slip by, including after a special Commission meeting last September.

Should the legal battle stretch past next May, when HRP’s contractual obligation to keep the fuel flowing expires, the county has discussed emergency alternatives, among them deploying a barge to keep ships supplied.

Naked man burglarized Miami Beach apartment and battered detective, cops say


A suspected burglar found naked inside a Miami Beach apartment attacked a detective before he was taken into custody, police said.

Cristian Diazmore, 21, was arrested Monday on charges including battery of a police officer, resisting an officer with violence, and burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, Miami-Dade jail records showed.

According to an arrest report, the incident happened Monday at the building at 7610 Harding Avenue, where detectives were following up on a burglary case that happened Sunday.

While there, the detectives were alerted by housekeeping that a man had been looking through the window of the unit minutes before the detectives arrived.

A detective went into the unit, which appeared to have been ransacked, and saw Diazmore at the end of the hallway completely nude, before Diazmore fled into a room and closed the door then fled through a backdoor, the report said.

A short time later the detectives were flagged down by a security officer for the nearby Temple Menorah, who said a man who was barefoot and wearing only shorts was trying to get into their school.

One of the detectives found Diazmore in the alley of the school but he fled again, the report said.

The detectives chased him and when one caught up to him, Diazmore elbowed him in the face, causing an abrasion and swelling and causing the detective to fall to the ground and injure his elbow, the report said.

Diazmore continued to flee and jumped a fence but was cornered by the detectives and took a fighting stance, the report said.

The injured detective then punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, before he was taken into custody, the report said.

Diazmore was booked into jail and expected to appear in bond court on Tuesday.
