    Madonna Facing Eviction From NYC Co-op
    (CBS) NEW YORK -

    One of Madonna's New York neighbors says the superstar's loud music and frequent dance sessions are pushing her over the borderline.

    Karen George, of Manhattan, lives above Madonna in a building on Central Park.

    She said in a lawsuit filed Friday against the building's co-op board that the Material Girl is using her apartment as a rehearsal studio, forcing neighbors to endure "blaring music, stomping and shaking walls," for 90 minutes to three hours each day.

    George complained about "unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music" and vibration pouring through walls, ceilings and radiators.

    The building's board says it has already threatened to evict Madonna.

    Madonna's representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Madonna first moved to New York City in 1977.
