The owners of a Park Avenue apartment building can evict Bianca Jagger on grounds she misrepresented her rent stabilized apartment as her primary residence, the appeals division of the New York state Supreme Court ruled yesterday.

The dispute initially arose in 2005 when Ms. Jagger, rock-legend Mick Jagger’s former wife, filed a lawsuit against the owners of 530 Park Ave. for mold in her apartment. The building’s owners then sued Ms. Jagger, claiming she was using the apartment as a pied-à-terre, not as her primary residence.

In a 3–2 decision, the judges sided with the building, noting that Ms. Jagger, who holds a tourist visa, cannot claim to hold a permanent residence in London and also a primary residence in New York, as she has done.
