Since its inception, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 has raised many questions about how its provisions should be applied to real estate. This important new guide provides an instructive, current overview of the legal as well as practical issues that arise when the ADA and other accessibility-related laws are applied to real property.
Beginning with a brief history of accessibility codes and statutes, the guide covers how application of the ADA affects both public and private entities. Covering topics related to both the ownership and operation of property as well as the provision of services to the public, this book addresses subjects such as:- Achieving facility compliance under the ADA and other accessibility codes and laws
- How Title II's provisions regulate government programs and services relating to real estate
- The types of establishments required to remove architectural barriers under Title III
- Enforcement options under Titles II and III
- The implementing rule of Title III and how it affects leases of commercial or industrial space
- The often difficult questions of who is responsible for performing work to make a property compliant, and who pays the costs for this work
- The conflicts between the two congressional mandates of historic preservation and accessibility
This book will be especially valuable to lawyers counseling clients about retail facilities, hotels, and mixed use buildings that have presented the greatest number of challenges in applying the ADA. It also will inform lawyers who work for municipalities, counties, schools, libraries, and park facilities about their obligations arising under the ADA.
