The full text of the draft complaint will appear here. Until it is uploaded to this archive, the below summary reflects the claims currently pled in the working draft. The final filed version will be posted in full and version-tracked below.
The complaint names the City of New York as defendant. This case is built on Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment claims — warrantless searches and inspections of private homes, fines designed for commercial operators applied to ordinary homeowners, and due process and equal protection concerns in how the law is enforced. Relief sought is declaratory and injunctive. These are only some of the arguments at the center of this case; we're not detailing every claim publicly while the litigation is still being finalized.
