Attorney General James Stops Westchester Real Estate Company from Discriminating Against Low-Income Renters
In addition, the Platzners, their staff, and partners will have to undergo mandatory training on relevant federal, state, and local fair housing laws and be subject to random compliance testing.“Housing enforcement is the difference between a family being able to use their housing voucher and being homeless,” said Aaron Carr, Founder and Executive Director of Housing Rights Initiative. “We thank Attorney General James and her team for their partnership in proactively and systematically enforcing New York state’s anti-discrimination laws and holding brokers and landlords accountable.”“We are pleased to be able to work with Attorney General James’ Office to fight discrimination against voucher holders who are denied equal access to housing opportunities solely because of their lawful source of income,” said Marlene Zarfes, Executive Director of Westchester Residential Opportunities. “Source of Income discrimination is widespread and targets the most vulnerable of our society. This settlement should remind housing providers of their equal housing obligations and help to increase housing opportunities for voucher holders as intended under state and county fair housing laws.”“Attorney General Letitia James is looking out for all New Yorkers — and Westchester residents — by ensuring all have a fair shot when looking for a place to live. We are facing a housing crisis and increasing access to those in need is one step toward solving this longstanding challenge,” said Westchester County Executive George Latimer.“Housing opportunities influence where we work, where our children go to school, and what we are able to save for the future. No one should be excluded from those opportunities based on the source of their income,” said State Senator Shelley B. Mayer. “I thank Attorney General James for securing a meaningful agreement that will expand opportunities for Westchester residents and send an important message to realtors that New York will not tolerate housing discrimination of any kind.”“Denying housing to low-income residents is downright shameful and weakens the chances of future progress to bridge the gap between renters and property owners,” said State Senator Nathalia Fernandez. “I commend Attorney General Letitia James and the Housing Rights Initiative for cracking down on source of income discrimination, sending a message from Westchester to the rest of New York that these practices will not stand.”

Attorney General James Urges Former Students Deceived by DeVry University to Apply for Federal Loan Discharge
New York DeVry graduates may have received restitution under both the OAG and FTC settlements.
Today’s announcement continues Attorney General James’ efforts to help students weighed down by the national student debt crisis. In January, Attorney General James secured more than $110 million in debt relief for thousands of New York students deceived by student loan servicer, Navient. In March 2021, Attorney General James sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Education calling for reforms to help student borrowers. In addition, Attorney General James suspended collection of some student debt owed to the state amidst the pandemic to provide relief to students.
Attorney General James encourages former DeVry students to apply for federal loan forgiveness if they believed that DeVry’s job or salary claims influenced their decision to attend DeVry. To apply, claims must be submitted to DOE in a process known as borrower defense to repayment. Students can start that process on DOE’s website. Students should mention that they received restitution from OAG or FTC settlements when completing the form, if that is the case.
For students who have already applied to have their DeVry federal loan discharged, they can check the status on DOE’s website under “Manage My Applications.”
To learn more about applying for a federal loan discharge, please visit FTC’s website or DOE’s website. Eligible students should submit a claim without delay.

National, State, and Local Leaders Applaud Attorney General James’ Nation-Leading Efforts to Regulate Cryptocurrency
Policymakers in New York, in other states, and in Washington should view this proposal as one promising example of how investor and consumer protection measures based on existing regulatory frameworks might be used to prioritize investor and consumer protection for investors exposed to crypto, rather than invent new industry- friendly rules out of whole cloth.”
“With the promise of high returns, the largely unregulated multi-trillion dollar Crypto industry disproportionately targets Black and other low-income investors who have traditionally been excluded from generational wealth,” said Darrick Hamilton, PhD., University Professor, Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy, and Founding Director of the Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy at The New School. “The Crypto Regulation, Protection, Transparency, and Oversight (CRPTO) Act will bring stronger oversight, accountability, and regulation to protect New Yorkers, and given New York’s position as the financial capital of the world, our entire economy from the speculatory trends underpinning crypto. I applaud Attorney General James for her continued leadership and efforts to enforce the rule of law and protect vulnerable New Yorkers, who stand the most to lose.”
“This legislation goes to the foundational conflicts and frauds that have become endemic in the crypto business,” said Bartlett Naylor, Financial Policy Advocate/Economist at Public Citizen. “Most importantly, it requires public audits of stablecoin reserves that must only include the safest of securities. New York has learned much from the sordid history of the sector, and this legislation responds responsibly. Once again, the Big Apple finds the core of the problem and leads the way to reform.”

Attorney General James Reaches $310,000 Settlement-in-Principle with Syracuse Landlord for Failing to Address Lead-Based Paint Hazards
“Thank you to Attorney General James and Mayor Walsh for their efforts to ensure we have a unified front that holds irresponsible landlords accountable while making the necessary improvements to provide safe housing for members of our community.”“With the help of Attorney General James, this settlement sends a powerful message to careless landlords: you can’t escape your responsibility to provide a safe and healthy living environment for your tenants,” said Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh. “In partnership with Attorney General James and County Executive McMahon, we will continue to use the tools and authority we have available to hold bad landlords accountable and protect children and families from the effects of lead exposure.” This settlement-in-principle is the latest in Attorney General James’ efforts to hold landlords and property managers accountable for violating childhood lead poisoning prevention laws in New York. In July 2023, Attorney General James filed a lawsuit against Syracuse landlord Todd Hobbs for repeated and persistent violations of lead safety laws at more than a dozen rental properties. In June 2022, Attorney General James shut down Syracuse landlord John Kiggins and his company, Endzone Properties, Inc., for repeatedly violating lead paint laws and failing to address lead paint hazards, which resulted in the lead poisoning of 18 children living in Endzone properties in Syracuse. In March 2023, Attorney General James sued Buffalo landlord Farhad Raiszadeh for repeated and flagrant violations of lead safety laws at dozens of properties in East Buffalo. In November 2022, Attorney General James secured $5.1 million in restitution and penalties to fund ongoing childhood lead poisoning prevention programs administered by the City of Buffalo and Erie County, as a result of a September 2020 lawsuit against a group of individuals and companies in the Buffalo region for illegally allowing lead paint-related hazards to proliferate in their rental properties. In March 2022, Attorney General James led a multistate coalition in calling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen protections against lead poisoning, particularly for children living in low-income communities and communities of color. In September 2021, Attorney General James announced an agreement in her lawsuit against Chestnut Holdings of New York, Inc., a property management corporation, over its failures to protect children from lead paint hazards in New York City.
National, State, and Local Leaders Applaud Attorney General James’ Nation-Leading Efforts to Regulate Cryptocurrency
“As the digital asset space continues to grow and evolve, it is critical that we establish a legal framework that provides clarity and consumer protection while promoting innovation,” said Assemblymember Anna Kelles. “Attorney General James’ proposed bill does just that by requiring digital asset brokers, marketplaces, investment advisers, and issuers to obtain a license from the Department of Financial Services and comply with reporting requirements. By doing so, we can ensure transparency in cryptocurrencies and related blockchain technologies providing consumers with the protections they deserve. This bill represents an important step forward for New York State in embracing the future of finance and technology and I thank Attorney General James for her leadership.”
“It’s no surprise that everyday New Yorkers were largely spared by the collapse of FTX. The New York State Department of Financial Services has established itself as a world leader in promulgating rules that establish a fair playing field for crypto businesses while proactively protecting retail investors that are interested in the space,” said Assemblymember Pamela J. Hunter. “While DFS has been proactive, there is still a need to update our laws to adjust and acknowledge the sustained presence of this new asset class. As Chair of the Assembly Banks Committee, I look forward to working with Attorney General James to build upon the foundation we have in place in a way that improves consumer protection while simultaneously providing a regulatory structure that creates stability for crypto businesses establishing themselves in New York. Our state has long been the financial capital of the world. Updating our laws to accommodate cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is essential and ensures that New York will continue to be a place of great innovation and a leader in finance.”
“When I held the first-ever oversight hearing on cryptocurrency and blockchain at the New York City Council this year, it was made clear by expert testimony that there is an urgent need for regulation of this fast-growing industry,” said New York City Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez. “I commend New York State Attorney General Letitia James for her common-sense regulatory framework to ensure that her office and the Department of Financial Services can protect New Yorkers and the broader economy.
