Trump Palace sues NYC over construction at Whole Foods and Five Below

Ongoing construction on a new Whole Foods and Five Below discount store is endangering tenants of Trump Palace on the Upper East Side, according to a lawsuit filed by the homeowners association.

Demolition work caused flooding in the basement, electrical room and garage of the posh building, and drilling caused gas leaks, leaving the more than 400 residents without working stoves or clothes dryers, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court filing.

To make matters worse, construction workers last week damaged the tower's “irreplaceable” granite facade when they illegally drilled signs into it, the lawsuit says.

When the building's manager tried to speak to the foreman about the signage, he was told to “go away,” the building board's legal documents said.

The committee alleges that the work was carried out with “reckless disregard” for local residents and caused “significant and lasting damage” to the luxury high-rise.

The demanding work, including jackhammering and drilling, must be paused during investigations and efforts to restore gas supplies.

The lawsuit also seeks at least $500,000 each from Whole Foods, Five Below and Regency Centers, the owner of the commercial unit beneath the condo.

The opening of the stores was planned for September.

Lawyers for the stores did not immediately respond to questions from The Post.

The 55-story tower on East 69th Street is considered the tallest building in the neighborhood and offers penthouse apartments that take up an entire floor and cost up to $6.9 million. There is also a separate wing of townhouse-style units on East 68th Street.

The building was designed by Frank Williams and built in 1990.
