SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 18 –  In New York, the Fair Housing Justice Center sued Gotham Organization for inaccessibility at its developments The Ashland in Fort Greene in Brooklyn and The Nicole in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan. Then it seemed settled.  

       On August 18, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

 Judge Woods said he needs to know more about the settlement. He does not just rubber stamp them. It is in the docket as Item 111. It describes retrofits, and has a section, "No Admissions."

The case is Fair Housing Justice Center, Inc. v. Gotham Organization Inc. et al., 19-cv-4764 (Woods)
