The lawsuit, filed in federal court, lists Hunter Ridgebrook Properties as the plaintiff. It is managed by Sam Okner and Associates LLC, which manages more than 900 residential units in DeKalb.
The lawsuit seeks $10 million and argues a violation of Hunter’s constitutional right to the equal protection of the law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment, saying “No other residential rental property entity within the City of DeKalb has been even remotely subjected to the unequal, unfair and discriminatory treatment as that of Hunter by the City of DeKalb.”
