Unlawful discriminatory practices prohibited
Operative Text
All such unlawful discriminatory practices contained in the Human Rights Law of the State of New York, as amended, §§ 296 and 296-a, as pertaining to fair housing are hereby restated by the City of Gloversville as provisions of this chapter. All such procedure as delineated within §§ 296 and 296-a as pertaining to fair housing is hereby replaced by the provisions set forth in § 143-7 of this chapter.
Gloversville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 143 § 143-4 incorporates the fair housing prohibitions found in New York State Human Rights Law §§ 296 and 296-a directly into local law, making those state-level anti-discrimination rules enforceable as city ordinances. While the substantive prohibitions remain the same as under state law, the enforcement procedures that would otherwise apply under the state sections are replaced by the local procedures set out in § 143-7 of the same chapter. In effect, the city has adopted the state's definition of unlawful housing discrimination while establishing its own process for handling complaints.

When a fair housing concern arises, the applicable complaint and enforcement process is governed by § 143-7 of the Gloversville Code rather than the state procedural framework.
