Friedland Properties and the federal government have finally reached a settlement over allegations that the company failed to comply with federal antidiscrimination laws at its Upper West Side Melar tower. The developers have established a $180,000 compensation fund and will pay a $40,000 civil penalty, as will building architect Costas Kondylis & Partners. The companies' employees will have to undergo Fair Housing Act training, which might help to eliminate any problems at Friedland's next project. [Crain's]
