Star Jones has lost a “view” again.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the celebrity lawyer and TV personality says leaks and mold have forced her out of her Upper East Side triplex penthouse – and now she’s suing her building for $700,000.
“As a result of said damage and environmental condition, it is unhealthy and dangerous to reside in the premises. As such, I have obtained comparable living arrangements at the costs of $17,861 a month,” Jones said in her suit against the condo board.
The suit says the board agreed to fix the water problems back in 2004, but never did. Conditions got so bad that Jones “has been denied the full use and occupancy of her home” since March 2006.
A friend of Jones said the mold is especially hazardous because Star suffers from asthma. A building representative could not be reached for comment.
Architectural Digest called her penthouse “unapologetically glamorous” when the magazine featured it several years ago.
