Judge won’t ‘co-op’erate with Madge

- Stephen Rex Brown

IT’S TIME for Madonna’s lawsuit against a Central Park West co-op board to take a bow.

A judge ruled Thursday that Madge waited too long to sue the board of Harperley Hall for changing the building’s rules that now ban her kids from using the opulent $7.3 million pad when she is not home.

“Because (Madonna) commenced this action more than four months after she became aware of being aggrieved by it, her first and second causes of action are time-barred,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovits wrote.

Madonna bought the home at 1 W. 64th St. in 2008. The co-op board changed the lease’s terms on April 2, 2014 — but Madonna didn’t sue until April 1, 2016.

The statute of limitation­s was four months.

She had argued that her duties as the Queen of Pop made it impossible for her to comply with the board’s rules.

“Plaintiff owns many residences around the world and travels extensivel­y worldwide,” the lawsuit contended.
