NW 2nd Avenue is a significant north-south thoroughfare in Miami that serves as a key boundary marker for Fire Zone No. 1 within the 1935-miami-dade-building-code.
According to the code, the Fire Zone boundary begins on the North line of NW 20th Street at the SE corner of Lot 7, Block 15 (p. 89). The boundary runs north along the East boundary of Blocks 15, 6, and 5 of Johnson & Waddell, passing through subdivisions such as Marks Subdivision, Pierce Subdivision, Donmoore Villa, St. James Park, and wynwood-park (p. 89). It continues through Princess Park, Buena Vista Heights, and Shadowlawn Extension before reaching the North line of NW 60th Street (p. 89).
The boundary then shifts east to the West line of NW 1st Place and north to the SE corner of Lot 3, Cottage Villa Tract, before moving west through Belmont Subdivision, Carlsmar, and Fairway (p. 89). It proceeds through Dupont Square, Hillsdale, and Phoenix Park, eventually reaching the present fire limits at NW 79th Street (p. 89-90). From there, the boundary moves west along the fire limits line and south through Grosell Heights, Le Bocage, and Dupont Square, intersecting with NW 62nd Street and NW 60th Street (p. 90). The path continues through College Park Addition, Railroad Shops Inter-school Tract, and Buena Vista Heights Extension, finally returning to the North line of NW 20th Street to complete the loop (p. 90).
This avenue is central to the definition of fire-zones, specifically delineating areas where strict construction standards, such as those for construction types (implied by Fire Zone restrictions), are enforced.
