A Frederick couple on Monday filed a civil lawsuit in Denver federal court naming publicly traded housing developer Century Communities and the Dacono neighborhood it is building as defendants.
The couple, Robert and Nina Lindstrom, in a seven-page complaint alleged Greenwood Village-based Century and the Autumn Valley Ranch development in Dacono wrongly refused to accommodate the couple’s request for a more wheelchair-accessible interior design on a home that had yet to be built.
“We take these allegations very seriously, so we’re going to go into very detailed information gathering on this specific issue, but we have no comment beyond that for tonight,” said Andy Boian, an executive for a Denver public relations firm representing Century, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CCS.
The Lindstroms — who are represented in the suit by Amy Robertson of the nonprofit Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center — claim Century and Autumn Valley violated the Federal Housing Amendment Act by declining to modify a standard floor plan to include wider doorways and a roll-in shower, among other changes.
