NYC Disability Reasonable Accommodation (Housing)

N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8-107(15); see also § 8-107(28) (cooperative dialogue)

Under NYC Administrative Code § 8-107(15), covered entities (including housing providers such as owners, landlords, and co-op/condo boards) must make reasonable accommodation to enable a person with a disability to use and enjoy a dwelling unless doing so causes undue hardship, which the entity bears the burden of proving; CCHR guidance treats modifying a "no pets" policy for a service or emotional support animal as such an accommodation, and providers may not impose extra fees or deposits as a condition. Separately, § 8-107(28) requires the covered entity to engage in a cooperative dialogue about the accommodation and to issue a written final determination, and failure to engage is itself an independent violation of the NYC Human Rights Law.
