INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A housing discrimination complaint filed by a Black Indianapolis homeowner alleges that appraisers valuations of her home more than doubled after she removed items that identified her race and asked a white male friend to be there during an appraisal.
Carlette Duffy and the Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana filed complaints with the federal government, alleging appraisers violated fair housing laws. The appraisers, the complaints said, purposely used comparable sale prices that were unfair and racially motivated.
One appraiser named in the complaints denied discrimination played a role, while other people and companies involved in the appraisals did not respond to The Associated Press requests for comment.
