Residents of Windcliff Apartments off Limestone Parkway in Gainesville might be surprised to learn the U.S. Department of Justice recently reached a settlement with the complex’s property owners in a housing discrimination lawsuit. It is one of 71 properties across Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee involved in the lawsuit. According to federal prosecutors, Windcliff’s owners were “engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against persons with disabilities and denied rights to a group of persons because of disability by failing to design and construct the following covered multifamily dwellings with the features of accessible and adaptive design and construction required by subsections.”
