New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the New York City Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) announced the largest civil rights settlement in city history for a housing discrimination settlement against Parkchester Preservation Management that will hold the company accountable for discriminating against voucher holders. CCHR imposed $1 million in civil penalties, the highest ever ordered for violations under the housing provisions of the New York City Human Rights Law and secured 850 apartment units to be set aside for housing voucher holders, the most ever secured in a CCHR settlement.
