Long Island has a housing discrimination problem

WNYC News | Feb 23, 2024

New York's Department of State is stepping up enforcement against housing discrimination on Long Island. It has recently punished real estate agents in Nassau and Suffolk counties for violating fair housing standards.

Many of the agents were discovered in the course of a 3-year-long undercover investigation by Newsday, which found widespread unequal treatment of would-be homebuyers.

Newsday reporters Maura McDermott and Jonathan LaMantia spoke about their investigation with WNYC's Morning Edition host Michael Hill.
