United States v. Glenwood Management (S.D.N.Y.)
On February 20, 2019, the United States Attorney’s Office filed a complaint and executed a settlement agreement with the defendants in United States v. Glenwood Management (S.D.N.Y.). The complaint, based on a referral from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), alleged that the owner and manager of an apartment building in Manhattan engaged in discrimination on the basis of disability when they refused to rent a unit to the HUD complainants, who have an assistance animal. Under the settlement, which was incorporated into a stipulation and order that the court approved on April 30, 2019, the defendants agreed to pay the complainants $100,000, to adopt a reasonable accommodation policy, to undergo fair-housing training, and to provide periodic reports to the United States.
