Reasonable Accommodations at Beam Living Properties
Beam Living is committed to granting reasonable accommodations to its rules, policies, practices or services where such accommodations enable people with disabilities the equal opportunity to use and enjoy their dwellings as required by federal, state and local law. A reasonable accommodation may include an exception to a rule or policy or physical change to a unit or common area. A disability-related reasonable accommodation exists when there is an identifiable relationship, or nexus, between the requested accommodation and the individual’s disability.

Reasonable Accommodation Requests
Beam Living accepts reasonable accommodation requests from persons with disabilities and those acting on their behalf. Individuals who would like to request a reasonable accommodation may use, but are not required to use, our “Application for Reasonable Accommodation” Form. The Reasonable Accommodation Application Forms is linked above and is also available in the management office. If you require assistance in completing the Form, or wish to make the request orally, please contact residentservices@beamliving.com or 833.414.2779.
Beam Living may require that a reasonable accommodation request is supported by a letter from a healthcare professional.
We will undertake an evaluation of the request on an individualized basis and make a decision on your request within ten (10) business days following the receipt of all required documentation. If the request is of a time-sensitive nature, please let us know and we will make our best efforts to expedite the decision-making process. If we grant the request, we will let you know in writing by letter and/or email.
In the event that we need additional information to make a determination, we will advise you of the specific information needed within ten (10) business days of your request. It is Beam Living’s policy to request only the information needed to determine if a reasonable accommodation should be granted under federal, state or local law. We will never require individuals to provide medical records or to provide details of a disability beyond that which is sufficient to demonstrate the existence of a disability and the relationship between the disability and the requested accommodation.
If we deny the request, we will provide you with a dated letter stating the basis for our denial. If an individual with a disability believes a request for reasonable accommodation has been wrongfully denied, the individual may appeal the request, in writing, to Gregory Claude at gregory.claude@beamliving.com.
If you believe your request for a reasonable accommodation was unreasonably delayed, denied unlawfully, or that you have otherwise been discriminated against on the basis of a disability, then you may file a complaint by writing or calling the appropriate city, state or federal human rights agency. The phone number of the New York City Human Rights Commission is 311 or 718.722.3131.
If you require assistance completing the form or wish to make the request orally, please see above for the appropriate contact at your property.
