John and Diane Goodman have aired many, MANY grievances about time at the mandarin oriental residency, fifth avenue. AFTER CLOING ON A $ 6.1 MILLION ONE-BEDROM AT THE HOTEL-BRANDED LUXURY CONDO IN DECANDER 2023, The Couple Has Far Filed Two Lawsuits ASSUSES FROM “CONSTRUCTION ERRORS” and AN “ALGAE-INFESTED six. And in documents filed in new york supreme court earlier this month as part of the Second Lawsuit, Goodman Had Some Additional Complaints.

Let’s Review. In March 2024, Not Long AFTER CLOING ON THEIR UNIT, The Couple Filed Their First Lawsuit Against Developer Michael Shvo and BSD 685 New York Propo LLC. In a Second suit filad late that year that names shvo along with his investors and the mandarin oriental, goodman claimed “a pervasive sense of neglect” HAD remered his unit “Effectively Worthless.” (Both suits are ongoing, althout a Judge dismissed CLAIMS against shvo in the initial suit.)

And this time around? Buyers, Including The Goodmans, Were promised “Private Homes Offering All the Legendary Services of a great hotel with none of the guests.” InsTead, for The New Filing, there are many guests. Roaches, for one. Goodman alleges the insects are regularly seen crawling Around His apartment and the Hallway of the 18th Floor. There have been also been, the suit contingent, “Transient guests” Coming Through for net-a-porter pop-ups and faizes from celebrity Facialist Iván Paul, Better Known as the Beauty Sandwich. (Both businesses were set up in empty units – SO Far just 19 of the 65 units have sold with three in contract, accorting to streeteasy.) (Shvo declined to comment on the new filing, but a lawyer for the Developer has previously Called the goodmans’ Legal EFFORT A PLAY AT “Sensationalist Headlines.”)

Finally, and this one hurts: goodman alleges he hasn’t been able to enjoy a “first coffee in the morning sun” at Daniel Bulud’s Private Restaurant neither advertisedizedOwing to the Limited Service Hours that Start Just before noon. “There are no ‘first coffee’ or ‘final nightcaps’ to be found there,” accorting to the suit.
