(dissenting). I would affirm. The City Commission can lawfully have no jurisdiction to entertain at the request .of a foreign domiciliary (Chicago, Illinois) a complaint with respect to an alleged discriminatory practice of a foreign located institution. The pertinent State and city antidiscrimination statutes were enacted to protect inhabitants of this State. The city’s antidiscrimination statute, a violation of which has consequences penal in nature, cannot be given extraterritorial effect.
Markewich, Murphy and Capozzoli, JJ., concur with Stevens, P. J.; MoGtvern, J., dissents in opinion.
