• March 15, 2012: The 2010 Standards
become mandatory. There is no option for
using the old ADAAG any longer.

which the application for a

permit issuance.

deficiencies are noncompliant.
Really NO “barrier removal”
All noncompliant conditions need
to be remedied
Priority order could follow barrier
removal list
Priority could be easy to difficult

- 20. Alteration – Disproportionate Cost
• Not readily achievable
• Deemed to be a disproportionate cost (>20%
of the project cost)
• Accommodations must be made to provide
goods and services.
• Reasons which accessibility cannot be
achieved should be documented and kept
with a project file or somewhere where it can
be retrieved in the future.

- 22. Definitions – Dimensions
The Million Dollar Question
• Dimensions that are not stated as
“maximum” or “minimum” are absolute
– can’t be above; can’t be below.
• Absolute dimensions are subject to conventional
industry tolerances.
• Range dimensions (max. and min. end points) are not
subject to tolerances.
• Centerline measurements are normally more liberal
due to difficulty.

Otherwise LL 58 or 2008 NYCBC is acceptable.
