Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin have annoyed their neighbours after their building work on their mansion has been ongoing for three years.

The couple, who got married in 2011, have reportedly been renovating their mansion in Edgewater, New Jersey, for three years and other residents nearby are starting to get annoyed by the long and noisy process.

A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: ''Three years the construction has being going on, things have been changed over and over, they build something, change their minds and take it apart.'' Another added: ''Everybody is resigned to the fact it will never end. People are just getting construction fatigue. There's a constant flow of trucks and noise.''

However, the pair's real estate agent, Kristin Ehrgott, insists the building works are expected to be finished by the end of the year but have been delayed due to difficulty obtaining permits.

She said: ''The main reason it took so long is they changed the original construction a lot, so that required permits that took a long time to issue. Through the winter they can't dig . . . The delay was mostly because of the timing of the permits and when the work started.''

The couple's builders have been busy installing lifts in the garage, which can now store six cars, a glass elevator and have completely ripped out the bathroom and bedroom, so that Coco has plenty of wardrobe space for her skimpy clothes and stunning accessories.
