[2] A procedure for filing a discrimination complaint under the federal Fair Housing Act is found in regulations adopted pursuant to a Stipulated Agreement of September 30, 1997 between the District of Columbia and the United States Department of Justice and administered by the District's Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA). 45 D.C.Reg. 8057 (1998); 14 DCMR § 14-111 (1998). Under these regulations, when a tenant requests a "reasonable accommodation," DCRA may grant, grant with "specified conditions," or deny the request. The DCRA Director is given forty-five days (subject to exceptions) in which to make a "final decision" in writing, failing which "the request shall be deemed granted" as a "final decision of the District of Columbia government." 14 DCMR §§ 111.3, -111.4, -111.6, -111.9, -111.11 to 13 (1998).
