HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT

If you believe you have been the victim of discrimination in the City of New York, you may file a complaint with the Law Enforcement Bureau of the NYC Commission on Human Rights, located at 40 Rector Street, 10th Floor, in lower Manhattan. The Law requires that the complaint be filed within one year of the last alleged act of discrimination.

To schedule an appointment, please call (212) 306-7450, although walk-ins are accepted. If you are unable to travel to the Commission's offices, we will make alternative arrangements.

When you visit the Commission on Human Rights, you will meet with a staff attorney. To expedite the interview process, please bring all relevant information covered in the complaint with you such as names, addresses and phone numbers of the people or organizations you are charging and the exact dates of the events.
