___________________________________________________________________
Why you may need Accessibility Consulting Services.
| Under the ADA, providing accessibility
is usually not a one time effort. Based upon what is "readily achievable", the
law requires owners of public accommodations to improve accessibility over time as funds
are available. The law is
over ten years old, and some owners have yet to assess their
facilities. Moreover, as owners have moved past an initial assessment stage, they
are faced with practical issues of making their facilities accessible. |
| Accessibility is one of many parts of due
diligence performed when purchasing or refinancing a building. Poor accessibility
decreases the value of a building. |
| Your business has had a complaint
filed against you for non-compliance with the ADA or FHA. In some
states, such as California, there can be significant penalties beyond the ADA,
such as California's $4,000 per occurrence per day. |
| The ADA requires public entities to make
their programs accessible, which includes facility accessibility. |
| Multi-unit housing falls under
HUD’s Fair Housing Act as amended in 1988,
which has complex requirements for accessibility for all buildings of four
or more unit built for first
occupancy after March 13, 1991. |
| New buildings must be accessible
under ADA, FHA & Building Code.
Architects and other design professionals, who often are not fully knowledgeable about the
complexities of the laws, should consider an Accessibility Design Review of their
preliminary drawings and construction documents, to reduce liability. |
