The short answer
Miami Beach has a median build year of 1970 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.

Miami Beach has 50,541 occupied homes across 7 ZIP codes. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1970 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 1970 tells you about the pipe in Miami Beach
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
42% of occupied homes in Miami Beach are owner-occupied, 24 points below the FL figure of 66%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Miami Beach ZIP codes is $87,806, 18% above the FL median of $74,712.

Before calling anyone in Miami Beach, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
