Rivera-Mora v. Corcoran Group Real Estate
Disability Justice, Fair Housing, Rivera-Mora v. Corcoran Group Real Estate
Following the incident, the family filed a lawsuit against the Corcoran Group in November 2019 under the federal Fair Housing Act and the New York City Human Rights Law. The Corcoran Group and fellow defendants NRT LLC and agent Anthony Williams quickly moved to dismiss the case, saying they believed it had been resolved through an earlier email exchange. The court rejected that contention, noting that “the parties’ email exchange about the content of Mr. Williams’ apology and the scope of the Corcoran internal training reflect a failure to agree about the terms of a settlement.” The ruling will grant the family their day in court against the realtors.
