Anyone who believes they have been subjected to such a practice may file a verified complaint with the Commission, detailing the alleged conduct and the parties involved.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 99 § 99-8, property owners and managers should be aware that a complaint alleging an unlawful discriminatory practice can be filed with the Commission at any time by an aggrieved person or their attorney. Compliant operators generally maintain clear, non-discriminatory policies and keep records of their practices so they can respond effectively if the Commission initiates an investigation. The Commission also has the authority to pursue informal resolution through conciliation, meaning a formal hearing is not the only possible outcome of a filed complaint.
