Does Seayora decide whether a conviction matters?
No. Seayora shows what the law lets you consider, collects the assessment the law requires and sends the letter. The decision, and the reasons for it, are yours.

Confirming, or the individualized assessment
You can confirm the offer at any time, and then accept the applicant as usual. To withdraw it, the law requires an individualized assessment, and Seayora will not send a withdrawal without one: you pick the specific convictions you are relying on, address each factor the law names (how long ago, how old the person was, what has happened since, how it relates to the home), and state the legitimate interest at stake — and in New York City the reasons the law rejects, such as a general fear of liability or “safety” with nothing linked to this person, are refused. Seayora composes the letter from what you wrote, with everything the law requires it to include, and sends it.
A withdrawal based on a background check is also an FCRA adverse action, so the adverse-action notice opens next. Both are owed.
