 Happy ADA Day! 

The National Disability Independence Day is on July 26th and it commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA provides protection from employment discrimination as well as better access to goods, services, and communications for people with disabilities. 

Starting on October 19, 2022, fines are going to be issued to any person who obstructs handicapped parking areas at a shopping center with one to four retail stores throughout New York State pursuant to S8822. 

That is not to say that this is all that can happen if landlords don't enforce and/or provide for handicapped parking at their shopping centers. Landlords who do not provide for access for the disabled can be sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state specific laws like the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL). So, such landlords should actively enforce their handicapped parking by also towing violators. Nonetheless, individuals who obstruct such spaces can't be sued under the ADA, so, it's a welcome sign that such obstructors will, at least, be ticketed for their thoughtless infraction.

On June 29, 2022, the NYS Board of Real Estate continued its mission of optimizing the regulation of real estate brokers in our state by holding its meeting. 

To remind real estate brokers and salespersons, the public is welcome at these meetings where the public can bring comments from the floor. Its encouraged that Lieb School students attend these meetings to have your voices heard.

"[T]he Board has general authority to promulgate rules and regulations affecting real estate brokers and salespersons in order to administer and effectuate the purposes of Article 12-A of the Real Property Law."

A complete video of the meeting is available on youtube.

The most significant takeaway from the meeting was that DOS has a new enforcement initiative, which started on June 1, 2022 - the launch of the Internet Enforcement Unit. This Unit is focusing on marking websites to confirm the existence of the Fair Housing Statement, compliance with Standard Operating Procedure Rules, and compliance with Advertising Regulations (19 NYCRR 175.25) with a specific emphasis on the use of unlicensed aliases rather than licensed names in such advertisements. 

BE WARNED - Go check all of your websites and social media today or hire Lieb Compliance to audit your web-based advertising for compliance.
