Managers of a Federal Heights mobile-home park discriminated against residents of Mexican descent by towing their vehicles, often in the middle of the night, while not applying the same parking rules to other residents, the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies announced Wednesday.
An investigation indicated that those residents of Kimberly Hills Mobile Home Park at 2305 W. 92nd Ave. “were unduly subjected to costly impound fees at the direction of their landlord for no other reason than their national origin,” according to the agency, which investigates civil- rights matters.
“Many who could not afford to pay repeated fines lost cars to the impound lot or moved from the community to avoid further discrimination.”
A hearing before an administrative- law judge is scheduled for Aug. 29.
