6. At any time after the filing of a complaint with the division
alleging an unlawful discriminatory practice under this article, if the
division determines that the respondent is doing or procuring to be done
any act tending to render ineffectual any order the commissioner may
enter in such proceeding, the commissioner may apply to the supreme
court in any county where the alleged unlawful discriminatory practice
was committed, or where any respondent resides or maintains an office
for the transaction of business, or if the complaint alleges an unlawful
discriminatory practice under subdivision two-a or paragraph (a), (b) or
(c) of subdivision five of section two hundred ninety-six of this
article, where the housing accommodation, land or commercial space
specified in the complaint is located, or, if no supreme court justice
is available in such county, in any other county within the judicial
district, for an order requiring the respondents or any of them to show
cause why they should not be enjoined from doing or procuring to be done
such act. The order to show cause may contain a temporary restraining
order and shall be served in the manner provided therein. On the return
date of the order to show cause, and after affording all parties an
opportunity to be heard, if the court deems it necessary to prevent the
respondents from rendering ineffectual an order relating to the subject
matter of the complaint, it may grant appropriate injunctive relief upon
such terms and conditions as it deems proper.
