§ 223-b. Discrimination against a person who is deaf or hard of

hearing who has a hearing dog. No person who is deaf or hard of hearing

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 hearing dog as defined in section forty-seven-b of the civil

rights law, provided, however, that if after occupancy a health hazard

results on account of such dog, the public health officer having

jurisdiction may take such corrective measures as may be appropriate.
