The Starlite Lounge, one of Brooklyn’s oldest gay bars and possibly the first black-owned gay bar in Brooklyn, has been having rough times for about a year now. After the building came under new ownership this past December, there was a petition to landmark the building and protect it from demolition.

Bianca Jagger’s landlord can expect a check for $708,600 in overdue rent and other fees, thanks to a court ruling made last week.

The mandate follows a 2008 ruling that deemed Jagger unfit for her two-bedroom apartment, a rent-stabilized unit at 530 Park Ave. that she’s occupied for almost 20 years.

“The court decided that she wasn’t eligible to remain because the apartment wasn’t her primary residence. Ms. Jagger, a Nicaraguan-born British citizen, also maintained a London apartment and was in the U.S. on a tourist visa,” The Wall Street Journal reports.

Jagger’s payment will cover her breech of “fair market use and occupancy” of the apartment, but with $246,468 in general cost, plus $343,827 in attorney fees, the total will be substantially more than her rent-stabilized rent.

The ex-wife of Mick Jagger is planning on appealing the motion.
