"The process of making identifications has become more difficult as time has passed," said Levine Cava.
"We must rely heavily on the work of the coroner's office ... to identify human remains. The process is very methodical and careful and takes time," he said.
The Champlain Towers South collapse, once too risky for heavy machinery, has now almost been leveled with the ground as bulldozers removed piles of debris on Tuesday.
Aside from stopping intermittently for problems related to hazardous weather conditions and changing debris, crews have worked on the site almost nonstop since the collapse on June 24.
Since then, they have collected more than 8 million pounds of concrete from the collapse site, Levine Cava said.
Security around the site is also being tightened, according to Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett.
"First I want to mention something that becomes more and more evident as the operation progresses, and that is the meaning of that site with respect to the people who have lost their lives there," Burkett said during a briefing on Monday.
"It is the right thing to do because it is obvious that this has become more than a collapsed construction site. It is a holy place."
