Applications for Exemption from §8-107(4)(a) Administrative
Code.
The
owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent or agent of a
place or provider of public accommodation may make an application
for exemption of an age-based restriction on access to or services
provided by such public accommodation which would otherwise be prohibited
pursuant to 8-107(4)(a) of the Administrative Code and §3-03
of these rules. Such application shall be made in writing to the
Office of the Chairperson of the New York City Commission on Human
Rights. The application shall set forth the specific basis for the
exemption sought together with any supporting evidence. The Chair
may grant such exemption if he or she determines that the exemption
promotes the health, safety or well-being of the public, or prevents
physical harm to the property or premises of a place of public accommodation,
or undue disruption of the quiet enjoyment of a place of public
accommodation and is not inconsistent with the goals and policies
of the City Human Rights Law. The decision of the Chair shall be
final.
