Bernie Madoff’s son and future daughter-in-law are desperately trying to land a downtown apartment but can’t — because building owners don’t want to be associated with them.
Andrew Madoff and Catherine Hooper have tried to cover up their connection to the Ponzi schemer by making appointments under Hooper’s name.
She then shows up alone to view the $20,000-per-month pads, brokers said.
Hooper speaks generally, saying the space is for her, her fiancé and their children, the sources said.
But once the brokers explain who Hooper is to the landlord, the couple is immediately rejected, the sources added.
“My owners would never, ever rent to him,” said a broker. “They will go through a lot of rejections.”
Madoff and Hooper are looking to move to either TriBeCa or the West Village because his children go to school downtown, sources said.
