Two individual plaintiffs, represented by a tenants’ association (collectively “plaintiffs”) asserted federal and state claims of “housing discrimination” against the defendant landlord. The landlord moved for summary judgment on all claims based on res judicata, collateral estoppel, statute of limitations (SOL), failure to state a claim, and lack of “genuine disputes as to any material facts.” The court granted the landlord’s motion in part and denied the motion in part.

The plaintiffs are or were long-time residents of rent stabilized apartments. The subject building is located in the South Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.
