NYC landlords are discriminating against tenants with housing vouchers, new report says
Several New York City landlords and brokers are routinely barring tenants from renting apartments if they rely on government assistance to help pay for it, a, a tech nonprofit focused on housing, released a list of so-called “serial discriminators,” on Wednesday, naming and shaming 23 corporate owners and real estate companies that the group says have allegedly discriminated against tenants with government subsidies more than 10 times since 2018.
On Wednesday, 28-year-old Kamilah Newton said she had to call hundreds of brokers over five years while at times living in a shelter before she could finally secure an apartment for herself and her two children.The report lists Goldfarb Properties, Chestnut Holdings, Parkchester, and the Parkoff Organization as the worst landlord offenders – none of whom immediately responded to requests for comment – as well as 19 brokerage firms.
She said the denial of housing to tenants with vouchers is “so pervasive in our communities that folks actually don't even know that they're being discriminated against at that door or when they get ghosted or when they face these challenges.”
