If you have a local complaint about your housing, employment, or a store, restaurant, or other public facility that is not accessible given your disability, contact the NYC Commission on Human Rights: Equal Access first. They'll contact the landlord, employer, shop owner, etc. by letter urging that they accommodate so you can use the facilities.  Normally, that leads to some negotiation and that leads to some accommodation.  If that doesn't work, you can file a formal legal complaint.   Read "Equal Access, It's the Law" in English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, or Korean.
