Geneva, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 § 158-5

A. It is an unfair real estate practice for any owner, assignee, real estate broker, real estate agent, salesperson or employee, or other person having the right to sell, rent, lease, sublease, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of real property, to discriminate by undertaking or refusing to sell, rent, lease, sublease, assign, transfer or otherwise deny to or withhold from any person or group of persons such real property, or refuse to negotiate for the sale, rental, lease, sublease, assignment or transfer of real property, or segregate the use thereof, or represent that such real property is not available for inspection, when in fact it is so available, or expel or evict an occupant from real property or otherwise make unavailable or deny a dwelling because of the person's race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, familial status, or disability, or to discriminate against or segregate any person because of such person's race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, familial status, or disability in the terms, conditions or privileges of the sale, rental, lease, sublease, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any such real property, including but not limited to the setting of rates for rental or lease, or establishment of damage deposits, or other financial conditions for rental or lease, or in the furnishing of facilities or services in connection therewith. B. It is an unfair real estate practice to unreasonably prohibit modifications needed by a handicapped tenant. Whether or not the landlord permits tenants in general to make alterations or additions to a structure or fixtures, it is an unfair practice for a landlord to refuse to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford a handicapped person equal opportunity to use and enjoy any dwelling, or to refuse to allow a person to make alterations or additions to existing premises occupied or to be occupied by a handicapped person, which are necessary to make the rental property accessible by handicapped persons, under the following conditions: (1) The landlord is not required to pay for the alterations, additions, or restoration. (2) The landlord may reserve the right to approve the design, quality, and construction of the alterations or additions in order to minimize damage to the building and enforce standards of quality and architectural compatibility. (3) The landlord may, where it is reasonable to do so, condition permission for modification on the renter's agreeing to restore the interior of the premises to the condition that existed before the modification, reasonable wear and tear excepted. C. It is an unfair real estate practice under this chapter for any person to design a building or structure that does not conform with the Federal Fair Housing Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq., the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, any other applicable federal, state, or local laws pertaining to access by handicapped persons, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. Whenever the requirements of the applicable laws shall differ, those which require greater accessibility for handicapped persons shall govern.
