HUD announced today that an agreement has been reached with a condo association in Puerto Rico with the settlement amount valued at $1 million. Isleta Marina, a two-tower, 360 unit development was alleged to have violated the Fair Housing Act due to refusal to repair any of the four elevators in the building, forcing a disabled resident to climb four flights of stairs to reach her unit, which caused further issues related to her mobility disability.
The terms of the agreement include requiring the association to repair four of the eight elevators, issue a formal apology to the individual that brought the compliant and have all staff undergo fair housing training.
