New York Democratic Representative Dan Goldman – heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. fortune. and one of the wealthiest members of Congress – was sued for skipping four months of rent on his posh Tribeca pad, new court papers show.
Goldman, 47, and his wife, Corinne Goldman, were named in a two-page lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday by landlords Jason and Natasha Gilbert, who allege the cop and his partner owe $180,000 in rent on the 3,818-square-foot. luxury condo.
The congressman — whose personal net worth has been pegged at over $253 million — allegedly has not paid the $45,000-a-month rent on the apartment at 60 Collister Street since August, according to the filing.
This is while he has a lease for the unit that runs through July 31, 2024, court papers state.
The Gilberts, who own the apartment, also want Goldman to shell out $360,000 to cover the remaining months of the broken lease, according to Crain’s New York.
The pad — which has five bedrooms and as many bathrooms — is currently on sale for $14 million and is described as a “newly renovated turn-key penthouse,” according to the StreetEasy listing.
The corner penthouse has an additional 1,500 square feet of outdoor space with a wraparound terrace that runs the length of the penthouse, according to the listing.

If Goldman does not respond to the summons within 20 days, the landlord will seek a default judgment against him.
“These allegations are baseless,” spokeswoman Simone Kanter said in a statement. “The congressman has always paid his rent on time and in full.”
Goldman – a lawyer and heir to the denim giant – took office in January in New York in the new 10th Congressional District that includes lower Manhattan and the southwestern part of Brooklyn.
He was the lead attorney in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump and has been an outspoken supporter of Israel during the country’s war against Hamas.
Earlier this year, Goldman and Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres is leading the effort to boot Long Island Rep. George Santos of the House by filing an ethics complaint against the pol since being ousted after he admitted to lying about numerous careers, his educational background and his family history.
An attorney for the Gilberts did not respond to a request for comment.
