Two tenants of New York City apartments have filed a class-action lawsuit in Manhattan State Supreme Court claiming the city’s property tax system unfairly discriminates against blacks and Hispanics living in rental buildings (See Complaint).
The suit, filed Wednesday, claims the system favors owners of co-ops, condos and single-family homes in violation of the anti-discrimination provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
