We're responding to both your emails here. You seem to have some
particlar knowledge from your posts (and we're glad you took the
time to respond), but....

: try 156 william street 9fl

That's DHCR enforcement. They will not do anything because she is not a
tenant in occupancy and they don't deal with discriminationn issues.
It's beyond their jurisdiction. Even if it were,
DHCR is notorious for giving landlords green lights.

: or call mayor action line they area in chamber street nyc downtown

If you need to talk to someone but don't expect much "action".

: there is lots of publication there on rent
: go to 5ave 17st barnes and noble go straight past text book into law room
: near right of entrance is a book call 1996 landlord and tenant the tan book

The "Tan Book" is a good book (essential for a real tenant advocate), but it is
just text of various laws (none dealing with discrimination) -- and we have
the important laws online here anyway.

The best place is the NYC Human Rights Commission.
