One Madison Park and Tamir Shemesh, managing director at Prudential Douglas Elliman, who will be handling sales at the building

Not long after representing celebrity client Jude Law in leasing a Greenwich Village apartment, which ended up being visible from New York University dorms, Brown Harris Stevens has found itself in the middle of another gaffe. The firm had lost its role as exclusive broker for condominium One Madison Park, which has been attracting celebs, after two of its brokers, Wendy Maitland and Wilbur Gonzalez, reportedly agreed to buy units there and then flipped them for profit. Their actions, while not illegal, are considered in poor taste and perhaps even unethical, the New York Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil reported. To add insult to injury, Prudential Douglas Elliman, considered a major rival of BHS, has been tapped to manage the development from here on out. Tamir Shemesh, managing director at Prudential Douglas Elliman, will be handling the sales, he told The Real Deal.

Actor Jude Law, who is in town to star as Hamlet at the Broadhurst Theater, is renting a 3,500-square-foot West Village penthouse in a converted church. Living in a former house of worship has its benefits: cathedral ceilings, stained-glass windows, and a 50-foot glass atrium in the eight-unit building, which also drew the likes of actor and musician Steven Van Zandt, who paid $6 million to purchase a similar spot there last year. The rent for Law’s three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom spot in the Novare building has not been disclosed, but it is also listed for sale with Brown Harris Stevens’ Reid Price for $7.8 million.
