ALBANY – Agreements were announced Monday with real estate developers of
rental apartment complexes in the region to ensure equal access to
housing for people with disabilities.
The attorney general’s office has found design and construction barriers
preventing full access by people with disabilities at Hudson Park
Apartments; regency Club Apartments in Middletown; Riverbend in
Wappingers Falls; and 66 Main Street Lofts in Yonkers.
The companies involved are Port Jefferson Town Properties, LLC;
Fairfield Pinewoods, LLC; Hudson Park Investors, LLC and Collins Yonkers
II, LLC; Regency club at Wallkill, LLC; Riverbend at Wappingers Falls,
LLC; and Main Street Lofts, LLC.

the full use of the facilities.

individuals who were harmed by the inaccessible housing. |
