The Fair Chance Housing Act in New York City was created to protect those with past criminal history from being denied housing. While the law restricts housing providers from discriminating against applicants based on criminal history, background checks are still allowed under a more limited scope.
To better understand this legislation and the background check guidelines, AKAM was joined by Belkin · Burden · Goldman, LLP, for an in-depth discussion.
Panelists include:
– Kara Rakowski, Partner, Belkin · Burden · Goldman, LLP
– Logan O’Connor, Partner, Belkin · Burden · Goldman, LLP
– Jennifer Manghisi, Vice President of Transfers & Closings, AKAM
– Daniel Ferrara, Transfer Agent, AKAM
Moderated by Elise Rosemarin, Senior Vice President of Business Development at AKAM.
