SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 5 – NYC luxury housing
developer JDS is being sued
for alleged Fair Housing Act
violations on two large
buildings: American Copper
(760 expensive rentals at 626
1st Ave) and 202 8th Street in
Park Slope,
Brooklyn.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Chief Magistrate Judge Gabriel
W. Gorenstein held a
proceeding on June 15. Inner
City Press covered it.
Judge
Gorenstin told a defense
lawyer, You didn't answer my
question. If you understand
that you didn't, please do. Or
I can repeat my
question.
The question was about
discovery, and whether two
people affiliated with the
defendants used private email
addresses.
Judge Gorenstein told
plaintiff he would facilitate
a subpoena for these disputed
private emails, including
"what time they wake up in the
morning."
But it was
said PMG (Property Markets
Group) has owed these
documents for a long
time.
Judge
Gorenstein said, We're going
down the subpoena route, and
it could get "intrusive."
Now on March 5,
counsel for the Fair Housing
Center has filed a letter with
District Judge Analisa Torres,
"the parties have now
completed and executed a
settlement agreement...
Paragraph 62 of the proposed
settlement agreement provides
that the Court will retain
jurisdiction over the monetary
and remediation aspects of the
settlement."
The case is Fair
Housing Justice Center, Inc.
v. JDS Development LLC et al.,
19-cv-1171 (Torres /
Gorenstein).
