A big-spending real-estate agent sold a Times Square building out from under her own Holocaust-survivor grandmother, leaving the elderly widow homeless and penniless, a $16 million Manhattan Supreme Court suit claims.
Sarah Weinberg, 73, purchased the four-story Restaurant Row building at 371 W. 46th St. with her since-deceased husband 44 years ago for $59,000.
Weinberg, her daughter, Iris Kaminsky, and her 23-year-old granddaughter, Danielle Kaminsky, had always lived in the building’s three apartments rent free.
But Danielle, whose “spending habits far exceed anything she makes,” allegedly tricked the old woman into signing away her rights to the building this spring, the court documents allege.
“Danielle desperately sought to sell the 371 Building for her own personal gain [and] preyed on her post-traumatic fears and anxieties in order to confuse, isolate and terrorize her elderly and trusting grandmother,” the suit claims.
Since the May 17 closing, Weinberg has been facing eviction from her apartment. She wants the court to void the sale.
Danielle Kaminsky, a real-estate broker for Douglas Elliman, told The Post that her mother, Iris, forced Weinberg to refinance the building and then allegedly pocketed the cash.
