摘要

The Justice Department announced August 20, 2013, that Multi/Tech Engineering Services Inc., an engineering firm based in Salem, Ore., has agreed to pay more than $60,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging that it had violated the Fair Housing Act by designing Gateway Village Apartments with steps and other features that made it inaccessible to people with disabilities. "Steps, narrow doors and other accessibility barriers prevent people with disabilities from exercising the same rights to obtain housing of their choice that other people enjoy," said Acting Assistant General for the Civil Rights Division Jocelyn Samuels. "We will hold builders and designers accountable and those who fail to follow the law will face enforcement action."
