Famed magician David Copperfield is being sued for neglecting his upscale Manhattan condo and allegedly leaving it in such despair that it has caused over $2 million in damages to the building and neighboring units. The board of the Galleria Condominium, a luxurious 55-story complex on East 57th St, filed the $2.5 million lawsuit on Tuesday. It says that Copperfield purchased the condo in 1997 for about $7.4 million, but transferred ownership to a shell company he owns shortly after buying it.
It caused units as far as 30 stories below to flood as well as the building's elevator systems. For years, he ignored necessary window repairs in his unit bringing 'the Condominium to the brink of litigation,' the suit says. In 2018, he allegedly abandoned the condo, 'stripping it of its furniture and fixtures.' 'Since then, Copperfield has let the Unit devolve into a state of complete dilapidation,' the lawsuit says.
