The complainant, a Black woman from Jamaica, alleged that the superintendent of her apartment building harassed her and her children because of their race.
The superintendent issued multiple notices of early termination for alleged loitering and directed racial slurs at the complainant.
The Board of Inquiry found that the superintendent's conduct was racially motivated and constituted harassment under the Human Rights Code.
The Board also held that the employer, Effort Trust Realty Company, was liable for the superintendent's actions as he was part of the 'directing mind' of the corporation.
The employer was ordered to pay $3,500 in general damages.
