Feds file access suits against 5 hotels in NY theater district
January 15th, 2009From New York Times City Room blog:
The United States attorney’s office in Manhattan has filed lawsuits against the owners of five theater district hotels — the Ameritania, the Amsterdam Court, the Carter, the Moderne and the Radio City Suites — that accuse the hotels of violating the federal Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.
Each suit seeks civil penalties of as large as $55,000 and a court order requiring the hotels to comply with the law.
The lawsuits are part of a review of theater district hotels that began in 2005. So far, 15 hotels have agreed to make changes and another 29 are working toward voluntary compliance agreements.
