Attorney General Eliot Spitzer yesterday filed consent decrees in federal court in White Plains involving two Westchester real estate firms alleged to have discriminated on the basis of race and ethnicity against people wanting to rent apartments in primarily white neighborhoods.


Patricia Forgione’s Realty Network and Greentree Realty and Relocation Company failed tests aimed at eliminating housing discrimination.


Ms. Forgione was fined $30,000, and Greentree will have to pay a $7,500 fine.
