"It blocks all light, all air, and it's damaging my client's building," said Panasci's lawyer, Elizabeth Harrington. She said Panasci had tried unsuccessfully to settle the dispute without going to court.
But Christensen's spokesman, Jason Deyonker, said the deck was legal and Panasci's complaints "have already been addressed." He said Christensen had tried to resolve Panasci's concerns over the past year and had brought in an engineering firm to make sure the deck would not cause trouble, the Daily News reported Friday.
Christensen, 38, became known in the US after appearing in the atmospheric, black-and-white video for singer-songwriter Chris Isaak's hit Wicked Game in 1991. She co-owns a New York fashion and interior design shop, Butik.
