§ 223-a. Discrimination against persons who have certain household
pets. No person who has been adjudged to be legally blind or who is a
severely physically handicapped person or who is a mute shall be denied
occupancy in a dwelling in any project or be subjected to eviction from
any such dwelling on the sole ground that such person owns a dog or cat
which will or does reside with such person therein, provided, however,
that if after occupancy a health hazard results on account of such dog
or cat, the public health officer having jurisdiction may take such
corrective measures as are appropriate.
