The Tenant Protection Act And Fair Housing On Long Island Revisited

John A. ViterittibyJohn A. Viteritti
in Real Estate
Home Real Estate

In recent articles we have addressed issues regarding Fair Housing violations by real estate brokers on Long Island, as well as portions of the Tenant Protection Act that became effective on June 14, 2019.

In this article we will provide updates that affect each of these issues.

Let’s deal with the latter first.

An outstanding issue is whether a real estate broker representing the landlord could charge a commission to the tenant. The Department of State (DOS) that regulates real estate agents published guidelines prohibiting the practice. It stated a broker who represents the landlord must be paid by the landlord. A broker who represents the tenant may be paid by the tenant. The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and New York State Association of Realtors (NYSAR) filed an Article 78 with the Supreme Court in Albany County challenging the guideline. In response, the Court stayed the execution of the guideline until March 13th. In a memorandum published by Anthony M. Fazio, Esq. of the law firm Capruder Fazio Giacola he reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James on March 6th requested an extension of the time to file its opposition to the petition. As a result, a court date has been set for June 12th.

A second issue of concern is a result of the Newsday Report that disclosed violations of Fair Housing Laws by real estate brokers and several Long Island Board of Realtor (LIBOR) Instructors who didn’t adhere to the DOS curriculum in their Fair Housing instruction. As promised at a hearing held by a State Senate Committee back in December, thirty-one subpoenas have been issued, summoning agents and company representatives to appear at a Senate hearing scheduled for April 17th at the Nassau County legislative offices in Mineola.

On December 16th Governor Andrew Cuomo’s press office issued an announcement of new regulations for real estate professionals to help combat housing discrimination. It said: “Regulations will be placed in the State Register for 60 Day Public Comment Period.”

The Regulations include disclosure of Fair Housing and New York State Human Rights Law to prospective home buyers, renters, sellers, and landlords. The Disclosure will be furnished by the DOS with rules on making it available including at open houses held by the real estate broker.

All real estate broker’s offices including branch offices must display notices highlighting Human Rights Laws as well as other requirements for posting and the filing of complaints by consumers.

DOS approved schools must record video and audio of the instruction of every Fair Housing and Human Rights course and keep the recording for one year.

On February 7, 2020 NYSAR wrote a letter to Governor Cuomo supporting the governor’s agenda. Other recommendations included:

Petitioned the State Legislature to provide funding to the DOS in order to establish an effective tester program.

Recommended increasing the fines for broker violations from $1,000 to $2,500 per violation, the fines to be used to fund tester programs.

Require Fair Housing instructors to undergo specialized training, be certified every two years.

Supports legislation that would provide the DOS with statutory authority to suspend and revoke real estate licenses.

Supports legislation that would require transparency in rental co-op applications.

Other bills have been introduced into the State Legislature that would further enhance compliance with Fair Housing and Human Rights Laws throughout the state.

Both issues covered in this article, the Tenant Protection Act and Fair housing and Human Rights, are on-going.

We will revisit these issues as they develop.

  • Enjoy the Warmth of Community This Fall at LongHouse

LongHouse Reserve is unbelievably beautiful. Whether you’re here for the summer or visiting from out of town, LongHouse is a must-visit. It’s not just a place for art but a true community hub offering tranquility and a chance to marvel at nature’s wonders. It’s a sanctuary of peace.

This fall, there’s a buzz in the air, thanks to the efforts of LongHouse director Carrie Rebora Barratt, who is a relatively new local herself. She’s been working to create more engaging community events and has extended LongHouse’s open season well into the fall and possibly even the winter. @longhousereserve

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac
