What it does

This bill would amend the definitions of harassment in the Housing Maintenance Code to include source of income discrimination as a form of harassment, such that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development would not be permitted to issue a Certification of No Harassment to a property owner, unless the department concludes there has been no source of income discrimination by such property owner in the relevant statutory period.
