On this week’s episode of the Touro Law Review podcast we are joined by Ian Wilder and Patrick Fife for a discussion on fair housing on Long Island. The podcast is moderated by Professor Peter Zablotsky. Mr. Ian Wilder is the executive director of Long Island Housing Services and Mr. Patrick Fife is the associate general counsel for the Long Island Board of Realtors. Among other things, Mr. Fife and Mr. Wilder discuss the changes that were made in real estate practices and laws following the Newsday Long Island Divided investigation. Since the investigation, testing and transparency has become a main priority for fair housing and equal treatment in real estate. Additionally, the adoption of the Realtor Code of Ethics has set the industry apart by requiring that all realtors become real estate licensees and that realtors abide by a code of ethics.
