CPW Towers, the landlord at 400 Central Park West, is suing one of its residents for allegedly combining two apartments at the building without permission.

The Upper West Side building was rent stabilized until 1987, when parts of it were converted to condos.

According to the lawsuit, Josefina Berman, a long time resident of the building, purchased a studio condominium adjacent to her own first-floor, two-bedroom, rent-stabilized unit, back in 1998.

Apartments at the 414-unit building go for around $2 million and higher, the New York Post reported.
