Star has lost a " view " again.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the celebrity lawyer and

TV personality says leaks and mold have forced her out of her Upper

East Side triplex penthouse - and now she's suing her building for

$700,000.

" As a result of said damage and environmental condition, it is

unhealthy and dangerous to reside in the premises. As such, I have

obtained comparable living arrangements at the costs of $17,861 a

month, " said in her suit against the condo board.

The suit says the board agreed to fix the water problems back in

2004, but never did. Conditions got so bad that " has been

denied the full use and occupancy of her home " since March 2006.

A friend of said the mold is especially hazardous because Star

suffers from asthma. A building representative could not be reached

for comment.

Architectural Digest called her penthouse " unapologetically

glamorous " when the magazine featured it several years ago.
