Neighbor sues Chiang, alleging property damage

Jewelry dealer Mascha Selden has alleged in a lawsuit that Carrie Chiang, senior vice president at the Corcoran Group, has damaged her Upper West Side townhouse. Chiang purchased a brownstone that shares a wall with Selden’s townhouse last October. Chiang began renovating her $4.2 million multi-family property to turn it into a one-family home, and Selden’s lawyers charge that Chiang’s contractors have weakened the wall in Selden’s home and that the walls, floors and ceilings have cracks in them. Chiang’s lawyer said Selden’s building was damaged before the work began on Chiang’s property.
