OPINION & ORDER Plaintiffs A.L.M. and Scott M. Moore (“Moore”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) bring this action against the Board of Managers of the Vireum Schoolhouse Condominium (“Defendant” or the “Board”) asserting claims under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §§1981, 1982, and the Fair Housing Act, id. §3617. (Compl., ECF No. 1.) Plaintiffs allege “a continuing pattern of purposeful acts of discrimination by the Board and its agent, John Mulazzi (“Mulazzi”), based on A.L.M.’s race, age, sex, and national origin” designed to drive Plaintiffs out of their home and to keep Plaintiffs from leasing or selling their home. (Id. 1.) Before the Court is Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 25), Plaintiff’s Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 50), and Defendant’s Motion for Sanctions (ECF No. 31). Upon the conclusions set forth below, Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, Plaintiff’s Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED, and Defendant’s Motion for Sanctions is DENIED. BACKGROUND The following facts are drawn from the parties’ Rule 56.1 statements, affidavits, declarations, and exhibits, and are not in dispute unless otherwise noted. In 2004, Moore and his wife, Marilisa Moore, adopted A.L.M., a female of Chinese race and national origin. (See Plaintiffs’ Rule 56.1 Statement (“Pls.’ Statement”)
1-2 & Ex. 1, ECF No. 51.) In the spring of 2005, Moore purchased a unit (the “Moore Unit”) in the Vireum Schoolhouse Condominium (the “Vireum”) in Ossining, New York. (Pls.’ Statement 15; id. Ex. 4; Defendant’s Rule 56.1 Statement (“Def.’s Statement”) 3, ECF No. 27-1; Declaration of William H. Bave, Jr. in Support of Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (“Bave Decl.”) Ex. D (“S. Moore Dep. Tr.”) 7:19-8:4, ECF No. 26-4.)1 The Moore Unit is located on the ground floor of the Vireum and is accessible only from an outside door, i.e., is not accessible from inside the Vireum. (Pls.’ Statement 21; Declaration of John Fox in Support of Plaintiffs’ Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (“Fox Decl.”) 5, ECF No. 52.)2 The door to the Moore Unit opens to a brick enclosed terrace, with a matching brick sidewalk (the “Moore Unit Sidewalk”) leading directly from the brick terrace to a public sidewalk. (See id.; Def.’s Statement 4; Bave Decl. Ex. K, ECF No. 26-11) The public sidewalk leads to Vireum’s east parking lot and a public street known as Snowden Avenue. (See Pls.’ Statement 21; Fox Decl. 5; Bave Decl. Ex. L, ECF No. 26-12.) At all relevant times, Mulazzi resided in Unit 1C of the Vireum (the “Mulazzi Unit”). (See Pls.’ Statement
