Operative Text
a.

Under N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 8-101 & 8-134, the New York City Commission on Human Rights is required to create and publish a poster explaining the forms of discrimination prohibited by the City Human Rights Law—including age discrimination—and detailing how to reach the commission. Every city agency must display this poster prominently in employee breakrooms or other common gathering areas. The poster and related educational resources on age discrimination must also be made available on the commission's website.
Plain English — not legal advice.
N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 8-101 & 8-134 applies directly to city agencies rather than private landlords, but property owners and managers operating in New York City should be aware that the City Human Rights Law broadly prohibits housing discrimination. Compliant operators generally stay informed about the commission's educational resources—available on the commission's website—to understand their own obligations under the broader human rights framework. Reviewing the commission's outreach materials, including those addressing age discrimination, is a common practice among operators seeking to maintain compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 8-101 & 8-134 establishes that the New York City Commission on Human Rights must make anti-discrimination information, including resources on age discrimination, publicly available on its website. Tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination prohibited by the City Human Rights Law can use those resources to understand their rights and learn how to contact the commission directly. General enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the commission, raising a violation as a defense in a relevant proceeding, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with city human rights protections.
