• In addition to the general concept of reasonable accommodation, NYC has specific regulations and considerations that apply to housing accommodations: 1. Communication accessibility. In NYC, housing providers are encouraged to provide information about reasonable accommodations in languages spoken by the community to ensure that individuals with limited English proficiency can fully understand their rights and options. 2. Support for immigrant communities. NYC's diverse population includes many immigrants. Housing providers are expected to offer reasonable accommodations that consider the cultural and linguistic needs of residents from different backgrounds. 3. Reasonable modification and rent-stabilized housing. NYC's rent-stabilized housing sector has its own set of regulations. Tenants in such housing have the right to make reasonable modifications at their own expense, even if the landlord normally wouldn't be required to make such modifications. 4. Assistance animal. NYC recognizes that emotional support animals and therapy animals can be crucial for individuals with disabilities. Housing providers are expected to accommodate requests for an assistance animal by both the federal Fair Housing Act and the NYC Human Rights Law. 5. Temporary medical conditions. Temporary medical conditions, such as recovery from surgery, are also recognized in NYC's reasonable accommodation provisions. Housing providers are expected to provide short-term accommodations that address these temporary needs. 6. Prompt response. NYC's local laws emphasize that housing providers should respond to reasonable accommodation requests promptly. Delays in responding to or processing requests can be considered a violation of the city's fair housing regulations. 7. Compliance with local laws. Housing providers must adhere not only to the Fair Housing Act but also to the NYC Human Rights Law, which provides additional protections and guidelines for reasonable accommodations.
