A slip-and-fall incident at a residential property has escalated into a legal battle, with serious allegations of negligence. On March 5, 2025, Zoraida Qusini filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, against Seminole Multifamily DST. The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $50,000 for injuries allegedly sustained due to unsafe conditions on the defendant’s premises.

The case centers around an incident that occurred on November 14, 2023, when Qusini was visiting The Addison on Long Bayou, a property owned and operated by Seminole Multifamily DST. According to the complaint, Qusini slipped and fell on wet paint that had been left on the floor—a hazard she claims was non-obvious and posed a hidden danger to invitees like herself. As an invitee, Qusini asserts that Seminole Multifamily DST had several non-delegable duties towards her safety. These included inspecting common areas for unsafe conditions, maintaining public areas in a safe state, and warning visitors of any known dangers.

Qusini accuses Seminole Multifamily DST of breaching these duties by failing to implement reasonable inspection policies and neglecting to maintain safe premises. The complaint further alleges that the defendant knew or should have known about the dangerous condition because it occurred regularly and was foreseeable. “Defendant knew or should have known that a dangerous condition complained of existed for such a length of time,” states the filing.
