Alex Rodriguez Striking Out With Florida Housing Officials

Poor Alex Rodriguez, he is striking out with Florida housing officials. Another apartment complex owned by the Yankees star is dangerously run down with 25 code violations!

Local code enforcement officials tell TMZ, violations at A-Rod's Newport Villas in Tampa include: dangerous crumbled staircases and a broken down fence that's led to an increase in "criminal activities."

According to a former employee at A-Rod's company (Newport Property Ventures), the complex also has a problem with rampant drug dealing.

A-Rod's recent record as a landlord is even worst than his playoff batting average but his rep claims, "The staircases are slated for repair in April and residents continue to have unobstructed access to their units."

Poor A-Rod!
