Madonna's Neighbor Sues Over Excessive Noise

Madonna's neighbor in her New York City apartment building is suing the singer for using her apartment as a recording studio and causing an unbearable amount of noise.

ABC News reports that Karen George, who resides in the apartment just over Madonna's, is suing the building's co-op and the Midboro Management Company for failing to do anything about the noise that she first complained about back in 2008. She filed the lawsuit on Friday in the New York State Supreme Court.

According to the New York Post, the lawsuit claims that "Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train . . . to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings and radiators."

George and other residents have had to put up with "blaring music, stomping and shaking walls" for as much as three hours each day, writes The Associated Press. The co-op's board of directors has said that they have threatened to evict Madonna, but apparently no other action has been taken.
