Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 § 174-4
Statement of unlawful discriminatory practices
Operative Text
The unlawful discriminatory practices concerning public and private housing contained in §§ 296(2) and 296(5) of the Human Rights Law (Executive Law Article 15 ) are hereby restated by the City of Hudson as the unlawful discriminatory practices governed by this article.
Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 § 174-4 formally incorporates the housing-discrimination prohibitions found in New York State's Human Rights Law—specifically Executive Law §§ 296(2) and 296(5)—into the City of Hudson's own local law. By restating those state-law provisions, the city establishes that the same conduct prohibited under state law is also governed and enforceable at the local level. This means housing discrimination protections apply through both state and city authority within Hudson.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 § 174-4, property owners and managers operating in Hudson are subject to the housing-discrimination standards drawn from New York State Human Rights Law §§ 296(2) and 296(5), now also enforceable as local law. Compliant operators generally maintain non-discriminatory practices in the rental, sale, and terms of housing consistent with those state-law standards. Because the city has restated these provisions as its own, operators may face scrutiny under both local and state frameworks.
