ADA Compliance Evaluation

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (amended in 2010) defined accessibility and set requirements for public services, public transportation and public accommodation and services operated by private entities. The act established uniform and enforceable national standards for new construction and for substantial renovations.

Commercial buildings serving the public and constructed prior to the 1990 ADA regulations are required to make reasonable accommodation for the disabled.

New Jersey, in addition, has adopted the Barrier Free Subcode to govern access to commercial buildings, recreational facilities and exterior accessible routes.

Lockatong Engineering can assist in assessing new or existing building compliance with federal and NJ regulations. In performing due diligence for those considering acquisition of an existing building, we can advise you as to the building’s state of compliance and provide estimated costs to achieve compliance.
