Recent buyers of a $650,000 two-bedroom condominium unit in a new
LeFrak Organization residential tower in Jersey City say a powerful
noise emanating from a neighboring commuter train transformer makes their master bedroom uninhabitable. Apartment owner Theodore Lee accuses the developer, the sales brokerage
and others of not telling him about a noise affecting his unit in the
North Tower of the Shore Condominium Residences at Newport that he said
has forced him to use his larger bedroom as a storage room. Lee and his wife, whose name he requested not be published, filed suit
in Hudson County Superior Court April 21, charging the LeFrak
Organization, Metropolitan & Waterfront Residential Brokerage, two
individual brokers and other entities with violating a consumer fraud
statute, breach of contract, misrepresentation and other charges. [more]
