Nevada Fair Housing Center Inc. and a couple sued the owner and developers of an apartment complex, alleging the apartments don't comply with the federal Fair Housing Act because they're not fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Nevada Fair Housing Center, a watchdog for discriminatory housing practices, former tenant Ettilio Verso, a wheelchair user, and his wife, Frances, sued Green Valley Country Club Partnership of Scottsdale, Ariz., the owner of the 204-unit Green Valley Country Club Apartments at 1770 North Green Valley Parkway in Henderson.

The defendants in the U.S. District Court lawsuit include San Diego-based contractor Mark Schmidt Construction, Wilmark Corp. of Nevada, Wilmark Development Co. of Las Vegas, and Wilmark Management Services Inc. of San Diego.

The defendants could not be reached for comment.
