Discrimination and Denial of Reasonable Accommodation

Admissions decisions, house rules, or accommodation requests handled in violation of federal, state or city human-rights law.

NEW YORK

New York State Division of Human Rights (Executive Law art 15). Also HUD and the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Jurisdiction reaches DISCRIMINATION by a housing provider — not governance, not records, not assessments, not elections.

This is the one bucket with an administrative door — HUD, the State Division of Human Rights, and the City Commission on Human Rights all take complaints. It is included precisely for the contrast: New York proved it can build this channel, then declined to build it for anything else a board does.

1 verified case — 0 against a board, 0 for a board, 0 split, 0 open. No clean finding of liability against a board in this bucket.

What the board is said to have done

Refused to consider a disabled shareholder's request to keep an assistance dog and fined her $740 — $300 for the dog and $440 for the board's own legal fees — then, after she complained to the State, revoked her disabled parking space, refused her maintenance cheques, moved to evict her, and told her falsely that the agency had ruled in the board's favour.

Partly sustained, partly rejected.
