The billionaire heir to the Loews fortune who now serves as CEO of the company and his wife are name in a lawsuit filed against New York City by their insurance company after sewage flooded their home.
James and Merryl Tisch are listed as plaintiffs in the complaint filed Monday in New York Supreme Court by Chubb Indemnity Insurance.
The couple claim that their home at 926 Fifth Avenue - which they paid $21 million for a 49-year lease on in addition to $37,500 in rent each month - became a toxic swamp due to the city's mismanagement of the sewer system.
As a result, Chubb has been forced to settle $1,891,937.80 worth of claims filed by the pair.
Lucky for the couple, they had purchased a $32 million apartment just down the street shortly before their Beaux Arts mansion turned into a latrine.
S*** hits the fan: Chubb Indemnity Insurance and James and Merryl Tisch (above in 2012) have filed a lawsuit against the City of New York after sewage flooded their townhouse
Location: The couple paid $21 million for a 49-year lease at 926 Fifth Avenue (townhouse on left), where they also pay $37,500 in rent each month
'On or about October 29, 2017, the Plaintiff's Insureds discovered a sewage back-up in their basement and sub-basement,' reads the complaint filed on Monday.
'Thereafter, the Plaintiff's Insureds submitted a claim for damages to CHUBB pursuant to its policy of insurance [redacted] issued by CHUBB regarding said premises and property.'
It continues: 'Thereafter, CHUBB, paid the claim in the sum of $1,891,937.80 to date, and became subrogated to the rights of the Plaintiff's Insureds against the defendants.'
The Department of Environmental Protection is also listed as a defendant in the case in addition to the City of New York.
It is stated that in addition to mismanaging the sewer system and causing the basement to flood, the defendants also failed to warn the couple or address the matter in a timely fashion claims the filing.
This complaint was filed after the defendants refused to cover any of the claim amount when sent the document by CHUBB more than a year ago according to the court filing.
New digs: A year prior to the flooding of their house in 2017, the couple had paid $32 million for an apartment just a few blocks away (interior of couple's Fifth Avenue apartment)
Dry land: The complaint demands that city cover some of the $1,891,937.80 worth of claims filed by the pair in the wake of sewage flooding their basement (Tisches apartment above)

'On or about December 1, 2017, plaintiffs file a Notice of Claim in writing, sworn to by an officer of plaintiffs containing the name and address of claimants, the nature of the claim, the time when, the place where and the manner in which the claim arose and an item of damages claimed to have been sustained, so far as then practicable, in compliance with the General Municipal Law,' reads the complaint.
'Defendants have failed to adjust the claim and make payment to the Plaintiffs.'
As luck should have it, the Tisches had purchased the $32 million apaprtment previously owned by Edgar Bronfman in the building where Jackie Onasis lived during her final years a year before the plumbing of their property.
The five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom co-op sits just across the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is on the tenth floor, far above the city's sewer system.
There is no word in the lawsuit about how things are going at the couple's five-floor, 12,000sqft townhouse, which was built at the turn of the 20th century.
James, who is also a partial owner of the New York Giants, and Merryl, who was formerly the Chancellor for the New York State Board of Regents, also own a $15million compound in upstate New York.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
