SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 3 – The Fair
Housing Justice Center sued
Bruckner Tower a/k/a the
Crescendo, the Staccato and
the Legato at 25 Bruckner
Boulevard for failure to
comply with the Americans With
Disabilities Act. Then, amid
COVID, they needed a new
expert.
On June 3,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Denise L. Cote held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
went and covered it.
The
complaint says among other
things the property's "doors
were not designed to allow
passage into and within all
premises by peple in
wheelchairs."
Judge Cote asked
why the request about the new
expert came so late. She was
told that the expert went to
work for the firm of the
defendant's expert. Judge Cote
gave until June 24 to find the
next expert.
The case is Fair
Housing
Justice
Center, Inc.
v. Bruckner
Tower LLC et
al., 19-cv-8622
(Cote)
