NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Caption Madonna rocks on stage at Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid on July 23, 2009 NEW YORK (AP) — One of Madonna’s New York neighbors says the superstar’s loud music and frequent dance sessions are causing a commotion.

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 up to three hours each day.

George complained about “unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music” and vibrations 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.
