United States v. Post Properties, Inc., et al., 2013-present.  

The U.S. Department of Justice sued a national apartment management company for designing and constructing large apartment buildings that allegedly discriminated against those with a disability.  Dr. Lapkoff was retained to evaluate the potential impact of the defendants’ alleged discrimination, by region.  Using Census surveys and analyzing Post Properties building data, Dr. Lapkoff estimated that 9.5 percent of households potentially renting units in Post Properties would be expected to contain a person with a vision or ambulatory disability, a rate that is likely to rise in the future.  The matter is still pending.
