- Former prosecutor Dan Goldman represents rich parts of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
- But he and his wife are accused of not paying the $45,000 monthly rent on their 5-bedroom condo.
- The luxury Tribeca residence is currently on the market for $14 million.
Congressman Dan Goldman, a prosecutor who rode to Congress on his role in Donald Trump's first impeachment, was sued by a landlord who claims he owes four months of unpaid rent on a luxury Tribeca condo, according to a filing obtained by Business Insider.
The lawmaker and his wife, Corrine Goldman, are named as defendants in a Monday lawsuit filed in Manhattan.
The couple's landlord, Jared Gilbert, is suing the Goldmans for $180,000 in alleged unpaid rent from August through November of this year, according to the suit.
Gilbert is also seeking additional damages equal to $45,000 in monthly rent for the remainder of the couple's lease through July 2024.
A spokesperson for Goldman's political office rejected the allegations in a comment to Business Insider.
"These allegations are baseless," Simone Kanter said. "The Congressman has always paid his rent on time and in full."
Gilbert and his attorney did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
Goldman is among the wealthiest members of Congress. Financial disclosure forms shared with Bloomberg last year placed his net worth between $64 million and $253 million.
The Goldmans have 20 days to respond to the summons, otherwise a judgment will be made in the case, according to the suit.
The 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom luxury Tribeca condo at the center of the suit is located on Collister Street and is currently on sale for $14 million.
A Street Easy listing for the 3,818-square-foot residence describes the condo as a recently renovated, turn-key corner penthouse that offers "expansive private outdoor spaces, exceptional open concept living, and breathtaking western and southern views."
The condo also boasts a wrap-around terrace that offers panoramic views of the city, as well as a 24-hour doorman and concierge services, according to the listing.
Goldman, 47, served as lead counsel in Trump's first impeachment trial before being elected to Congress in 2022. He represents New York City's new 10th congressional district, which encompasses parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
He told Business Insider in 2022 he was inspired to run for Congress because he was "gravely concerned" about the direction the country was heading under Trump and the Republican Party's leadership, calling the former president a "wannabe dictator."
In his first year in Congress, Goldman was a leading voice in the effort to investigate and unseat fellow — and former — New York Rep. George Santos, following allegations he defrauded voters. Santos was expelled from the House earlier this month.
