AG Racine’s Continues to Stand Up for District Workers, Hold Employers Who Violate District Employment Laws Accountable & Ensure Fair Housing Opportunities for Returning Citizens

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Attorney General Karl A. Racine today announced that two companies, Manganaro Midatlantic LLC (Manganaro) and Nomadic Real Estate Investments (Nomadic), will pay a total of $731,000 to resolve allegations that they violated District wage-and-hour laws and, in Nomadic’s case, unlawfully discriminated against prospective tenants through the use of criminal background checks.

“Every day, my office fights to make sure DC workers are paid the wages they are owed and are given the benefits they deserve,” said AG Racine. “The District’s laws are in place to protect all residents and ensure everyone has access to essential human rights, such as housing. Just as we did today, my office will use every tool at our disposal to hold companies accountable and make sure that District residents, including returning citizens, are not denied fair housing opportunities.”

To date, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has secured over $11 million for workers and the District through its workers’ rights enforcement actions.
