NEW YORK (AP) - An upscale New York City apartment building is being sued by a tenant who claims the co-op is trying to force her out because she married its former doorman.
Christina Ambers, a hand & foot model, filed a $10 million lawsuit in Manhattan state Supreme Court against residents and management of the East 74th Street building known as the Avon House.
The lawsuit claims her husband, Angel Rotger, lost his job and building employees made her hail her own taxis and retrieve her packages after the couple became romantically involved.
The suit claims residents object to the Hispanic former doorman living in the building.
The couple married in July.
Building lawyer Joe Colbert says the claims have "no merit."
