WHITE PLAINS - After years of struggle, Westchester County has a law that aims to make a co-op review process more timely and accountable...
The county Board of Legislators, by a 13-4 vote last month, approved what both proponents and opponents see as the "compromise" bill because the final product was not what either side really wanted...
The new law sets deadlines for co-op boards to accept or reject a potential buyer. When rejecting, boards are required to notify the county Human Rights Commission about its rejection, but are not required to give the reason...
The law became effective upon its signing, and it will expire in three years.
Lawmakers have said data collected by the commission will be analyzed, and the need to extend or modify the law will be discussed upon the expiration of the law.

Condominium boards are now imposing the functional equivalent of traditional co-op requirements, including asking for three personal references and three financial references, even for all cash deals. You're ten years behind.
It doesn't have to be out right traditional discrimination, just stupid. The condo policy falls under the general heading of none of your damn business.
You should also look into CURRENT renting practices, like the thousands of new rental apartments in White Plains.
