There’s a rogue photo doing the rounds of Alex Rodriguez sitting on the can, shot through the window of his luxury NYC pad — and now his legal team is urgently trying to flush out the photographer, who was likely at a Manhattan hedge fund next door.

A-Rod apparently likes to linger on the lavatory at his Park Avenue apartment without closing the blinds, and the former Yankee slugger was caught with his pants down on the throne by a photographer who was privy to a clear view from the adjacent building.

The photo, which has been seen by Page Six but which we won’t publish for privacy reasons, shows A-Rod in a blue shirt, his trousers down, texting on his phone and luxuriating on the loo in his white marbled bathroom.

In the background, a crisp white bathrobe can be seen hanging next to a glass-encased shower, along with a towel monogrammed with the letter A, naturally.

He shares the $17.5 million apartment with fiancée Jennifer Lopez. The place has 4 ½ bathrooms, so A-Rod could have chosen a quieter hot corner.

The cleanup-spot shot leaked, and was making the rounds via email through Wall Street and media circles on Thursday, but it wasn’t clear who took the commode close-up.

Rodriguez’s reps caught wind of the embarrassing shot, but they initially had nothing to go on, and declined to comment.

The No. 2 pic hit Twitter by end of day.

A source told Page Six, “Alex’s lawyers are all over this. They are working hard to find out who the culprit is. It is a clear breach of privacy. The photo was obviously taken from the building next door, from a floor possibly parallel to Alex’s apartment. One of the hedge funds in the building next door will be getting a big lawsuit.”

Hedge funds that have offices next door include Phil Falcone’s Harbinger Group; Ortelius Capital Partners, co-founded by Pavlos, crown prince of Greece; and JMP Securities, run by Carter Mack and Mark Lehmann. They were all not immediately available for comment.
