ADA Accessibility Inspections
A visual survey documenting existing conditions affecting accessible use, following ComSOP guidelines that overlap substantially with ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
What It Is
An ADA Accessibility Inspection evaluates a property for accessibility barriers following the ComSOP guidelines, which overlap substantially with ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). The inspection is a visual survey that documents existing conditions affecting accessible use, it is not an exhaustive code compliance audit or a legal opinion on ADA compliance.
When You Need It
Any commercial property open to the public is subject to ADA Title III requirements. Buyers inherit existing non-compliance with the property, and the obligation to remediate it. An accessibility inspection before closing tells you what you're inheriting and gives you negotiating leverage. It also informs scope of any planned renovation, where accessibility upgrades may trigger path-of-travel requirements.
