If the Low-income/fixed income Tenant using a wheelchair has lived in rental property for 17 years, and just ncurred 8% Rent Increase, requests 30 year old carpeting to be replaced with hard flooring (LTV) for easier mobility, is Tenant or Landlord responsible for costs? Rent has also been increased Thank You.
This is useless, doesn't give any real numbers, but a start. Get the new ADA code book off Amazon. Actually go to your building department in the city you will be doing work. They should be able to give you a cut sheet of what is exceptable in there town. This is extremely important , be cause there really is no uniform building code. Most all municipalities will write there own little codes on top of the law as they see fit. This should not be allowed, but is, because you have city council member, whom know not much about building codes, thinking they do. This is more than especially true in over regulated California. In California we have a guy in a wheel that chair that goes into a restaurant, and shakes them down for $10,000.00 and he won't report them. To me and others, we call this extortion. But the state has done nothing except close down hard working businesses . A business should be able to claim exempt if one can not physically comply, not ruined.
The only way to enforce ADA in public places is through architectural barriers civil rights litigation. It's a shame that there isn't another method. He's not shaking them down. the disabled person gets NO money or award. If the building is non-compliant, then they are responsible for legal fees. He's making the point that this has been law since 1991 and it's time for businesses to wake up and become compliant. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design is a 300+ page code that anyone can access for free on-line. It's much more detailed than a "cut sheet" from the local guy. Many states have made the ADA state building code. The ADA also offers $15,000 a year in tax credits for businesses to become ADA compliant. That business sould have spent the $10,000 on compliance.
@@susanberrydesign OMG thank you Susan finally someone out there that gets it. If I am a person with a disability and my favorite restaurant has no access for me or the restrooms have barriers that require me to ask for special help and embarrassed me in front my family and friend and I decide I have had enough so I start a lawsuit and end the end I not only now have full access to said restaurant but maybe in the end I get a few dollar for my troubles well then I'm going to do what any other person I'm my situation would do, I will move right on to my next business with NO access. I am so surprised in a age where everyone want to say they are so politically correct that we could be upset at a person with a disability for trying to better his life through accessibility and if the only way for that to happen is a lawsuit ( and in 99.9999% of the time it is) well then he should never feel shame of be ridiculed for this. Thank you Susan.
@@timwegman5776 I one hundred percent agree. These businesses have had 32 years to comply and in some cases it seems like they go out of their way not to. They are for-profit businesses who are making the financial decision not to follow the law, it's ridiculous that we have to compel them to comply with the law. Oh please kind sir, would it be too much trouble for you to ensure that I can lower a wheelchair ramp out of my van? Oh I'm sorry that's too much trouble. Give me a break.
It would be nice if the Federal Government were doing these inspections. If so they would know how much non compliance there is.
Wish I could find a level like that, if I measure a slope I’d have to leave the level there and go home!
It would cost me 50 bucks to measure 1 slope

I want to know why ADA spots are being made on a raised area now in California? This dangerous!!! I flipped over!!!
Accurate captions would help make your video accessible to people who can't hear what's being said. Thanks.

Thank You.
Can anyone do inspections? Or do we have to be certified?
There are usually special certified agencies that do it .and it is retarded
