Renowned magician David Copperfield is facing a lawsuit from the condo board of The Galleria on East 57th Street, alleging that he trashed and neglected his Manhattan penthouse. The board claims Copperfield’s actions, or lack thereof, have resulted in $2.5 million worth of damage to the property.
The lawsuit details several incidents contributing to the extensive damage. Notably, it mentions illegal and ineffective plumbing installations that caused Copperfield’s rooftop pool to burst in 2015, leading to water damage affecting condos 30 floors below. Additionally, a valve failure. . .
