SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 31 –   Carnell Brown, from the Bronx Park Avenue Transitional Housing Facility shelter, applied for an apartment at the Eastchester Heights housing complex, 3480 Seymour Avenue in The Bronx. 

  But a long ago conviction was used against him to denying him. He sued RealPage Inc a/k/a On-Site LLC under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.        

    On January 31, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Brown's old arrest was incorrectly reported as being in 2019.  Then there is the failure to correct.

The case is Brown v. RealPage, Inc., 21-cv-8421 (Cronan)
