A posh building on NYC's Billionaire Row has been facing a series of serious woes.

Faulty lifts, flooding and intolerable noises are just some of the woes that the billionaire residents of one of New York's poshest buildings say they face daily.

The lawsuit claims that the building's problems have "endangered and inconvenienced" residents and guests.Buyers have included Jennifer Lopez and former fiancé Alex Rodriguez, Saudi retail magnate Fawaz Alhokair and a member of the family that owns the Jose Cuervo Tequila brand, according to the New York Times. Individual units sold for tens of millions of dollar each, the paper said.

The New York Times quoted one resident as describing the tower's rubbish chute as sounding "like a bomb" when used. "Unit owners paid tens of millions of dollars to acquire units. Far from the ultra-luxury spaces that they were promised, however, unit owners were sold a building plagued by breakdowns and failures," the complaint said.
