Enforcement

^{Commission attorney providing information to New Yorker at community event.}

The NYC Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) enforces the NYC Human Rights Law. Allegations of discrimination come to CCHR for investigation in several ways. Members of the public may file a complaint about their own experience. A lawyer may file a complaint on a client’s behalf. Service providers, community organizations, elected officials, or individuals may bring specific incidents or potential patterns of discrimination to CCHR's attention, and the agency can initiate its own investigation.
