A must for anyone working with ADA Guidelines
The guide that takes the guesswork out of Fair Housing Act Accessibility Guidelines conformance.The Federal government is stepping up its enforcement of the Fair Housing Act Accessibility Guidelines, and failure to comply with these Guidelines can result in a complaint for discriminatory housing practice. This book enables building professionals to avoid these charges with clear, concise interpretations of the Guidelines and descriptive illustrations of proper conformance.
Inspired by the author's HUD-sponsored review of nearly 400 built projects, this compact yet comprehensive guide reviews the Guidelines for conformance with the seven basic design and construction requirements of the Fair Housing Amendments Act, from accessible building entrances to usable kitchens, and points out common conformance errors made by architects, builders, and developers.
