Tenant at ritzy West Village condo threw knives, demanded oral sex: suit

The owner of a swank West Village condo is suing her $11,500-a-month tenant, saying the elite matchmaker has terrorized fellow residents — letting his dog defecate on the roof, demanding oral sex from the housekeeper and ordering building staff to address him as “Prince.”

“Initially, I thought some of his bizarre antics were simply the product of a childish self-absorbed individual, such as when I was notified that he demanded that all staff members refer to him as ‘Prince Richard Easton,’ ” Elana Taranina, who owns the luxe $3 million apartment, huffs in her Manhattan Supreme Court suit.

But then Easton, 58, also “threw knives and other projectiles” out of a window of the second-story pad at 166 Perry St. and roamed the lobby in his underwear, demanding that the doormen order him a cheeseburger and fries, according to court papers.

Distraught neighbor Alexandra Danielson, 24, told The Post she spotted Easton in white skivvies in the lobby. “I ran out so I didn’t look closely,” Danielson said, adding that Easton appeared to be drunk.

The marriage broker, who gets as much as $100,000 to find the perfect mate for male clients, recently appeared on an episode of “The Real Housewives of New York.”

But he has become such a nuisance to his well-heeled neighbors that the condo board hired a $75-an-hour security guard to protect them from his antics, according to the suit. The board is making Taranina foot the $54,000-a-month security bill, the suit says.

Taranina, who works in real estate, is suing to evict Easton and she wants $75,000 in damages.

He moved into her two-bedroom unit in “The Jetsons”-like building in the spring, but in the ensuing months he has caused her “nothing but tremendous grief,” she says in court papers.

Easton, who has a lease that runs through 2016, also wreaked havoc at the 20-unit, eight-story building by taking cabs home and then refusing to pay the fares — leaving doormen to deal with angry drivers after he “ran to the unit and refused to open the door,” the suit says.

Reached on Tuesday, Easton at first insisted that there “isn’t an ounce of truth to any of” the allegations in Taranina’s suit. But then he hedged.

The self-described “international playboy” admitted that his Labradoodle named Maestro pooped on the roof — but he said he cleaned it up.

And yes, Easton told The Post, he asked the doorman to arrange takeout, but only because he was new to the neighborhood — and he wasn’t in his underwear.

“I lived in a doorman building before for six years and they ordered sandwiches whenever you wanted them,” Easton maintained.

The royal title and sex demands are nonsense, Easton continued — but he did have guests over for a boozy brunch and they may have accidentally dropped a plate on the street while admiring the Hudson River views from his balcony.

He then invited The Post up to his 1,500-square-foot pad to show off how clean it was and for a glimpse of what he said was an original Andy Warhol Campbell’s Soup painting.

The Post’s Page Six previously reported that Easton has two domestic-violence convictions — incidents for which he said he was sorry.

A frequent visitor to the building said Tuesday that Easton has ruined the quality of life there.

“The private security guard is a pain for everyone,” he said.
