Holley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 146-5
Discrimination in provision of brokerage services prohibited
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful within the Village of Holley to deny any person access to or membership or participation in any multiple-listing service, real estate broker's organization, or other service, organization, or facility relating to the business of selling or renting dwellings; or to discriminate against him in the terms or conditions of such access, membership, or participation on account of race, creed, color, religion, sexual orientation, military status, sex, age, disability, marital or familial status, or national origin.
Section 146-5 of Holley's Code of Ordinances establishes that real estate brokerage services, multiple-listing services, and related organizations operating within the Village of Holley must be equally accessible to everyone. The rule bars both outright exclusion and unequal treatment in the terms of access or membership based on characteristics such as race, religion, sex, age, disability, marital or familial status, sexual orientation, military status, or national origin. In effect, the provision extends fair-housing protections into the professional infrastructure of the housing market, not just the sale or rental transaction itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Real estate professionals and brokerage organizations operating in Holley should ensure that their membership criteria, listing-service access policies, and participation terms comply with § 146-5 and do not treat applicants differently based on any of the protected characteristics named in the ordinance. Compliant operators typically maintain written, neutral eligibility standards that apply uniformly to all applicants and periodically review those standards to confirm they do not produce discriminatory outcomes. Keeping records of membership decisions and the criteria applied can support a showing of consistent, non-discriminatory practice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 146-5, residents of Holley have a right to equal access to real estate brokerage organizations and multiple-listing services without being excluded or subjected to different terms because of characteristics such as race, disability, familial status, or national origin. If a person believes they have been denied access or treated unequally in violation of this provision, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local or state fair-housing agency, contacting a tenant-rights or fair-housing organization for guidance, or consulting an attorney familiar with housing discrimination law. Documenting the denial or differential treatment—dates, communications, and the names of those involved—is commonly useful when pursuing any of these avenues.
