Effective June 20, 2020, Regulation 19NYCRR 175.28 requires every Real Estate Licensee to provide a New York State Housing and Anti-Discrimination Disclosure Form to every prospective purchaser, tenant, seller or landlord (for all types of transactions: residential, commercial, vacant land, new construction, etc.) at first substantive contact (the same as the Agency Disclosure Form). The new law requires every broker's office and branch office to post the Fair Housing Notice in an exterior window, visible to persons on the adjacent sidewalk.

Go to the FTC Complaint Assistant to report scammers, and select "Rip-off's and Imposter Scams" and fill out and submit your report. To recap, on April 2, 2020, we emailed RAC NYSCAR members to alert everyone to several scam emails, supposedly from NYSCAR, offering, for a price, a listing and contact information of ~20,000 Realtors. There is a similar email scam from Bellwey Technologies, and it seems these emails are still being circulated.  RAC NYCAR recommends that you block the email senders and report these Imposter Scam/SPAM emails.
