DOJ filed a civil lawsuit against real estate developer Atlantic Development Group, LLC and Peter Fine for building apartment buildings with inaccessible conditions.

The company’s been doing it for 15 years through areas of NY, so why is this suit only now coming to light?
They haven’t complied with the Fair Housing Act’s accessibility requirements all of that time in the construction of 68 apartment buildings throughout Bronx, Manhattan, and Westchester counties.

Doesn’t the state of New York also have their own building laws?
The DOJ lawsuit is asking that all of those apartments be retrofitted to be accessible to those with disabilities, they want them to change their procedures/policies, and tenants compensated.
Many of the buildings involved were meant for low income residents and Atlantic received tax exemption certificates for developing those buildings.

LOL....NYT did puff piece in 2008 about Atlantic and Peter Fine about how the “former social worker (Peter Fine)” was worried he wouldn’t be able to build many more affordable homes due to bureaucracy. Yet, he did it anyway.

Looks like one of Atlantic’s offices was raided in 2009 by the Manhattan DA.

OH???

Atlantic reportedly gave donations to the then Obama White House Office of Urban Affairs President Adolfo Carrión Jr., who was also the former Bronx borough President.
Gee, I wonder what ever happened to that investigation...
I guess nothing happened because in 2015, he was pondering running for Congress, though decided not to.
