May a complainant also file a complaint of unlawful discrimination with external governmental civil/human rights agencies?
Yes. A complainant may also file a complaint of unlawful discrimination with external governmental civil/human rights agencies such as: NYC Commission on Human Rights, 40 Rector Street, NYC, 10006, (212) 306-7500 NYS Division of Human Rights, 1 Fordham Plaza, 4th Floor, Bronx, NY 10458, (718) 741-8400 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, New York District Office, 33 Whitehall street, 5th floor, New York, NY 10004, (212) 336-3620 U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, 75 Park Place, NYC 10007, (212) 637-6466. Where a complaint is filed with an external human rights agency, OEO will not conduct an internal investigation, and will transfer the matter to the Legal Office.
