An Upper East Side man is suing his neighbors for not stopping construction during the Jewish holidays, according to a Manhattan.
Jacques Blinbaum, who lives at 114 E. 78th St., claims in his Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit that he signed a contract in January with his neighbors — Hong Kong fashion exec Alfred K. T. Chan and Chan’s wife, Fiona Cibani — allowing them access to his property as they do a gut renovation on their $7.3 million home.
As part of the agreement, the couple agreed to halt construction during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the suit says. But work continued on Sept. 10 and 11, the Jewish New Year, as well as on Yom Kippur on Wednesday, Blinbaum claims.
So he filed the suit against them, hoping they won’t continue building on the holiday of Sukkot, which begins Sunday.
Chan could not be reached for comment and Cibani did not return requests for comment.
