Housing Discrimination Complaints Free Schools Law is Delivering
Languish at NYC Commission on Outstanding Results For New York
Human Rights Students And Teachers
Audit Recommends Improved Oversight
The New York City Commission on Human Rights
(CCHR) allowed some housing discrimination cases to sit
at times for years without resolution, according to an audit
released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P.
DiNapoli. The audit found CCHR lacked clear timelines and
oversight to ensure cases were reviewed and investigated
timely, leading to substantial delays.
“New Yorkers who experience housing discrimination
need timely action and clear answers,” DiNapoli said. “Our
audit found that inadequate case tracking at the New York
City Commission on Human Rights left too many people
waiting too long. The commission must improve their poli-
cies and controls to ensure that people who may be facing
housing discrimination get the attention and prompt resolu-
tion they deserve.”
CCHR enforces New York City’s Human Rights Law
and investigates allegations of housing discrimination.
Complaints may include landlords refusing tenants with
housing vouchers, rejecting people with disabilities or
those who rely on benefits, or denying housing because of
race, gender or sexual orientation. CCHR uses Dynamics,
an electronic case management system, for case tracking
and monitoring.
