United States v. Hampton Corporation (D. N.D.)

On August 19, 2021, the court entered a consent order fully resolving the United States’ claims in United States v. Hampton Corporation (D. N.D.). The complaint, which was filed on March 16, 2020, alleged that a developer and affiliated entities and individuals violated the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to design and construct 116 units of housing and common use areas at four housing complexes in Grand Forks and West Fargo and a rental office so that they are accessible to people with disabilities. Among other provisions, the consent order requires the defendants to remove barriers to accessibility at the properties, contribute to an aggrieved persons fund, and attend fair housing training.  On March 23, 2020, the court entered a partial consent order settling the United States’ claims against the architect and engineer who worked on one of the building developments.
