What Happens If the Building Owner Refuses to Remove His Building ADA Barriers?

First of all, we want to be sure your attorney and his experts get paid by the building owner, ACCESS being one of the experts.  Furthermore, I want to tell you this has never happened to ACCESS.  But, there is always a first!

If the building owner was real uncooperative, I would certainly consider turning over all our information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), whose responsibility is to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  I have had clients that have gotten letters from the DOJ, and you talk about the fear those letter put on the in-house legal staff is unreal.  This is why the ACCESS "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" program is a turn-key program. 

The building owner has all the documentation, ADA detail audit, ADA consulting on solutions, ADA retrofit permit drawing, ADA plan check of ADA retrofit permit drawings and a cost report form an ADA contractor.  The Federal Judge has all the information needed to order the building owner when to start and when he needs to be finished.

If you have any questions or want to add to the above post, comment on it here or on our FaceBook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Access-Technologies-Services-Inc/268659564730#!/.  Or if you feel more comfortable in call me instead you can reach me at (702) 649-7575 or email me at fhalstad@accessts.net.

See you tomorrow.
