Doorman in ‘apt. heist’

He’s gotta be the worst doorman in the city!

Instead of minding the front entrance, a crooked concierge at a posh Upper East Side apartment building was busy allegedly looting a tenant’s pad of more than $100,000 in cash and jewelry, The Post has learned.

Jorge De Leon, 37, the doorman at 200 East 62nd St., allegedly used a set of keys to slip into the apartment of Amy Sussman as she went for a run at around 8 a.m. last Thursday, law-enforcement sources said.

At some point while De Leon was allegedly slinking about, cleaning woman Patricia Gardiner, 46, entered the apartment and began straightening up, sources explained. When she opened a closet, she was shocked to find the doorman hiding inside, the sources said.

De Leon allegedly told Gardiner he was “sorry” and begged her not to call the police.

But Gardiner ordered him to leave the apartment and then alerted the superintendent, who called 911, sources added.

Responding officers arrested De Leon on burglary and grand-larceny charges. He is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail.

When Sussman, 55, returned from her workout, she noticed several of her pricey baubles were missing — including a $75,000 engagement ring, a $35,000 wedding set and $4,800 in cash, sources said.

As De Leon was cuffed, he was searched, and was not found to be in possession of the valuables, the sources said.

There were no reports of other burglaries in the building.

Sussman and Gardiner refused to comment.

De Leon has a prior arrest in 2001, for marijuana possession, cops said.

A tenant who lives in a $9,000-a-month apartment in the white-glove building said she was shocked to hear of the theft and holds the building staff in high regard — but that didn’t stop her from checking on her valuables.

“I immediately went upstairs to make sure all my jewelry was still there,” she said. “People are freaked out. They’re not happy about this.”

The tenant, who declined to give her name, said she and her neighbors are also incensed about the silence over the alleged crime.

“People are frustrated that management won’t address it,” she said.

“The porters and the doormen have been ordered not to talk about it.”
