Attorney General EUot Spitzer has announced an agreement with the Village of Freeport that will result in "significant reforms to its Building Department's inspection practices and enhanced protections for Freeport residents' constitutional rights."
In October, 2002, Mr. Spitzer's office filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Latino households had been subjected to wide inspections, without the residents' consent or with consent that had been obtained deceptively.
The agreement with the Village of Freeport ensures compUance with the constitutional and statutory prohibitions on unreasonable and discriminatory searches and inspections while assuring pubUc safety and building code enforcement.
"This agreement recognizes that the village can enforce its housing codes and inspections in a way that treats all residents of the village fairly and with
respect for the law and the privacy of persons' homes," Mr. Spitzer said. "I am pleased that the village has agreed to continue to reform its Building Department practices in a manner that will allow it to achieve these goals lawfully."
The agreement, which was approved by a federal judge earlier this month, adopts a "best practices" approach for the Building Department tb conduct lawful inspections. Inspectors will obtain written permission from residents for inspections and may obtain such permission only after advising residents that they may refuse consent without fear of retaliation. Each attempted inspection will be digitally recorded and videotaped - a practice that has already been adopted by the village.
