- Celebrity magician David Copperfield is being sued by his condo board.
- The suit accuses Copperfield of neglect that has resulted in millions in building damages.
- A rep for Copperfield called the dispute "a simple insurance claim."
Famed magician David Copperfield is being sued by the board of his New York City condo, which claims he trashed his penthouse upon moving out in 2018 and let it "devolve into a state of utter disrepair."
Copperfield owns — and is currently trying to sell — the largest unit in the Galleria, which he purchased for $7.4 million in 1997, according to the suit.
But now, unrepaired water damage in his unit is posing dangers to the structure of the building and to other residents, the suit alleges.
