Jared Kushner's family real estate company has racked up more than 170 code violations in Baltimore after failing to comply with local laws, officials said Thursday.
"We expect all landlords to comply with the code requirements that protect the health and safety of their tenants, even if the landlord's father-in-law is president of the United States," Kamenetz said in a statement.
The company owns 13 apartment complexes in Baltimore County.
This isn't even its first major scandal involving the company in Maryland. A Baltimore Sun investigation in August found that the company has been the most aggressive one in the state for pursuing to arrest tenants for debts. The company had sought the arrest of 105 former tenants.
The same month, a class-action lawsuit accused the company of overcharging more than 90 percent of its tenants in a Brooklyn, New York, building.
Subsidiaries of the company have been involved in about 500 cases in which they sued tenants for minor infractions.

Well Trump can always find solace with his base. As long as he doesnt have to touch them.

(17,931 posts)I thought we dropped that whole debtors prison thing a long time ago. Isn't that a civil issue since like, I don't know, the early 19th century? Is MD law different somehow?

(11,317 posts)usually debt is strictly a civil matter. Warrants are assigned by the courts .. and have to do with unpaid fines issued by the state and failure to appear matters. Never heard of a landlord having anything to do with arrests, or warrants. Recheck the reporting here?

(3,355 posts)There was an article in the Sunday NY Times Magazine 2 years ago that detailed what was done to the tenants in Kushners Baltimore properties- including aggressively pursuing them in court for a variety of reasons. I recommend reading the article online. It is shocking.

Although, I am sure there are tons of other instances of neglect and infringement.
