(3) In connection with the design and construction of covered
multi-family dwellings for first occupancy after March thirteenth,
nineteen hundred ninety-one, a failure to design and construct dwellings
in accordance with the accessibility requirements for multi-family
dwellings found in the New York state uniform fire prevention and
building code to provide that:

(i) The public use and common use portions of the dwellings are
readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities;

(ii) All the doors are designed in accordance with the New York state
uniform fire prevention and building code to allow passage into and
within all premises and are sufficiently wide to allow passage by
persons in wheelchairs; and

(iii) All premises within covered multi-family dwelling units contain
an accessible route into and through the dwelling; light switches,
electrical outlets, thermostats, and other environmental controls are in
accessible locations; there are reinforcements in the bathroom walls to
allow later installation of grab bars; and there are usable kitchens and
bathrooms such that an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver about the
space, in conformity with the New York state uniform fire prevention and
building code.

19. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subdivision, it
shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice of any employer, labor
organization, employment agency, licensing agency, or its employees,
agents, or members:

(1) to directly or indirectly solicit, require, or administer a
genetic test to a person, or solicit or require information from which a
predisposing genetic characteristic can be inferred as a condition of
employment, preemployment application, labor organization membership, or
