For Property Managers

Under § 11-28, property owners and managers subject to a handicapped discrimination complaint should be aware that the city's director of the office of planning and development will conduct the investigation. Compliant operators generally cooperate with the informal investigative process by making relevant records and representatives available when requested. Understanding that the investigation is designed to be thorough—even if informal—helps operators respond appropriately to any requests for evidence.

For Tenants

Section 11-28 establishes that filing a handicapped discrimination complaint sets an investigation in motion, conducted by the director of the office of planning and development. As an interested party, a tenant or their representative has the right to submit evidence relevant to the complaint during this informal process. Those who believe they have experienced handicapped discrimination may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource to understand how to present evidence effectively within this framework.
