| Subject: NYC board: High-rent-tenants-only gym may be discriminatory - So fucking what? Sat Apr 04, 2015 10:33 pm | |
| An apartment house where only high-paying tenants can use the gym may be illegally discriminating, city officials said this week amid debate over luxury buildings that provide fewer amenities — or even separate doors — for residents of affordable apartments.
The company that owns the building on Manhattan's Upper West Side said Friday it was trying to work out a solution to the dispute. Since the gym was added last year, it's been free to market-rate residents but off-limits to rent-stabilized tenants.
After the tenants' association president complained that it smacked of second-class citizenship, the city Human Rights Commission said in a notice Thursday that there was enough evidence of age discrimination to merit an administrative trial. The rent-regulated tenants at the Stonehenge Village complex are largely over 65, while market-rate tenants aren't, according to the complaint.
