Woman files lawsuit against Baltimore County Del. Jay Jalisi over ‘disgusting conditions’ at city apartment

A tenant of a rental complex operated by Del. Jay Jalisi is suing the Baltimore County lawmaker after she slipped and fell in one of his units. According to a complaint filed this month, the tenant, Michele Hayes, alleges that Jalisi’s property management firm, HMJ Management Company, failed to remedy “disgusting conditions” in an apartment she rented monthly on Greenmount Avenue. The complaint, filed by Hayes’ attorney Matt Vocci, says Jalisi is renting out an “uninhabitable, unlicensed apartment” at his multi-unit complex, Bretton Terrace Apartments, plagued by drain fly and cockroach infestations, water leaks and mold.
