arrow The Seattle hub of Compass Real Estate via Wikipedia Many of New York City s most dominant real estate companies are illegally discriminating against low-income residents who rely on rental assistance, according to the findings of a year-long undercover investigation released on Monday. Led by the Housing Rights Initiative, the sweeping investigation identified 88 landlords and brokerages that allegedly discriminated against tenants seeking apartments with Section 8 vouchers, which provide federal financial assistance to help low-income residents cover part of their rent. The nonprofit watchdog deployed covert investigators as applicants, recording nearly 500 phone conversations with landlords and their brokers including Compass Inc., the Corcoran Group, and Century 21. When those otherwise qualified testers mentioned their Section 8 voucher, the real estate professionals ended the conversation 48 percent of the time, according to HRI.
