Nazi-lover out at Qns. condo

- BY JILLIAN JORGENSEN

A QUEENS condo manager who displayed Nazi memorabili­a in his building’s lobby will have to take down the posters and quit his post, the city Commission on Human Rights announced Friday.

The commission reached a settlement with the Condominiu­m Board of Managers at 47-55 39th Place that calls for Neal Milano — who had displayed posters about Nazi Germany and omperial Japan in the lobby — to step down, along with two other board members, and to remove the offensive imagery.

The condo will also have to update its “house rules” to comply with the city’s Human Rights Law — and remove a provision requiring tenants to prove their immigratio­n status.

The fascist imagery in the lobby will be replaced with posters notifying residents of their rights and the city’s fair housing policies.

“We hope this settlement sends a strong message to housing providers citywide that New York City does not tolerate discrimina­tion,” said Sapna Raj, assistant commission­er for the human rights commission’s law enforcemen­t bureau.

The condo board is still under investigat­ion by Attorney General Eric Schneiderm­an for potential state civil rights violations.

“We are encouraged by the actions taken tonight by the NYC Commission on Human Rights with whom we have been working closely on this investigat­ion,” Schneiderm­an said.
