Purpose
Operative Text
This chapter establishes a local procedure for enforcement of federal and state fair housing laws, including but not limited to the Civil Rights Act of 1866, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended.
Section 67-2 of Waverly's Code of Ordinances establishes a local enforcement procedure for federal and state fair housing laws, including landmark civil rights statutes from 1866, 1964, and 1968. Rather than relying solely on federal or state agencies, the Village of Waverly has created its own channel for addressing fair housing complaints. The provision sets the foundational purpose of Chapter 67, signaling that the rules that follow are designed to give effect to those broader anti-discrimination protections at the local level.

Property owners and managers operating in Waverly should be aware that fair housing obligations can be enforced through local procedures, not just through state or federal agencies. Operators who maintain non-discriminatory policies and practices consistent with the Civil Rights Acts referenced in § 67-2 are generally positioned to comply with this local framework.
