A Manhattan co-op has a bone to pick with one of its tenants over her dog — and they’re not about to roll over.
Inwood Terrace Inc. already lost one lawsuit against resident Ivelice Rosario, 52, over whether she should be allowed to keep her pooch — despite their no-dogs-allowed rule — because he was “medically necessary’’ to her health.
Rosario had argued that she needed her pet Max, a Lhasa Apso-Schnawzer mix, to help ease her depression and anxiety, and a judge agreed, ruling that she could keep the dog and even receive $13,000 for legal fees.
But the condo board recently filed papers in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking to have the ruling overturned, still insisting Rosario really doesn’t need the dog for her health and protesting the fees.
Rosario’s lawyer, Steven Sperber, said he was unaware of the new legal action when told about it by The Post today but added, “It’s just really mean-spirited.
“Sometimes, you need more than pills. … This woman is suffering from anxiety and depression, she needs this [dog].’’
He described the pooch as “very small.’’
Inwood’s lawyer, Andrew Stern, declined comment.
