Plaintiff alleges negligence against property manager MALF-FL over balcony collapse
Latreshia Webb has filed a lawsuit against a property management company, alleging negligence after suffering injuries from a balcony collapse. The complaint was filed on October 30, 2024, in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, against MALF-FL, L.L.C.
According to the lawsuit, Latreshia Webb claims that on April 16, 2023, she was an invitee at a property managed by MALF-FL, L.L.C., located at 601 Rosery Rd. NE in Largo, Florida. While standing on the balcony of her daughter’s unit, the flooring gave way beneath her feet. Webb argues that the defendant had a duty to maintain the property safely and failed to do so. She accuses MALF-FL of multiple breaches of duty including neglecting regular inspections and failing to warn about potential hazards like the compromised balcony floor.
Webb’s legal filing outlines specific accusations against MALF-FL for not exercising reasonable care in maintaining the balcony and its flooring. She asserts that they did not conduct adequate inspections or train their staff properly in maintenance practices. Furthermore, Webb alleges that MALF-FL either knew about the dangerous condition or should have known due to its prolonged existence or regular occurrence.
