The New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) is a civil rights law that is embodied in Title 8 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York.[1][2][3] The law is enforced by the New York City Commission on Human Rights, a mayoral agency of the City of New York. Eight commissioners on the city’s Commission on Human Rights enforce New York City’s Human Rights Law.[4][5][6] As NYC mayors appoint commissioners, there is variable enforcement of the law depending on the degree of support and priorities of the City's current administration.[6]
The law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, as does federal law. Since 2013, the NYCHRL also requires employers to make certain accommodations for pregnant workers,[12] It provides protection against discrimination in employment based on unemployment status, arrest or conviction record, and status as a victim of domestic violence, stalking, and sex offenses.[7] In 2020 employment discrimination law was expanded to cover freelancers and contractors. [13] The law also protects workers in individual households, such as paid caregivers, and unpaid interns.[7][14]

With respect to access to housing, NYC's human rights law includes protections based on lawful occupation, family status, and any lawful source of income.[7] It also prohibits retaliation, bias-related harassment (including cyberbullying), and bias-related profiling by law enforcement.[7][15]
