“Our office was built in 1985. We’re grandfathered under ADA, right?” WRONG! Private sector facilities that are places of public accommodation have a continual barrier removal obligation, which is a far cry from the paternal protection of grandfathering. And for new construction? You’re expected to get it right the first time. Unfortunately, few do. Before you remove any potential barriers, you have to know what they are and that not all barriers are created equal.
Individual reports including photos, regulations used (federal, state, and local), and cost estimate for barrier removal will be provided for each facility assessed.
