Enforces the New York City Human Rights Law, one of the most comprehensive anti-discrimination laws in the country. It investigates complaints of discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations, and can impose penalties on violators. If your landlord discriminates against you, your employer fires you for your identity, or a business refuses to serve you, this is the city agency that investigates and can make them pay -- literally. NYC's human rights law covers more protected categories than federal or state law.
