Matter of Custodio v. Popolizio

In Matter of Custodio v. Popolizio (139 Misc.2d 391 [Sup Ct, NY County 1987]), the court held that the city's housing authority was entitled to consider information relating to a tenant's disability in deciding whether that tenant could be placed in public housing. Because the city could deny housing to a tenant who caused substantial disturbance to others, the court held that the city was entitled to information regarding the proposed tenant's disability to determine if the tenant could meet the standards of conduct reasonably required of tenants. (Custodio, 139 Misc.2d at 392-393.)
