24 CFR Part 100—Supplement to Notice of Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines: Questions and Answers about the Guidelines
29. Bathroom Clear Floor Space
29.1 Q. Is it acceptable to design a bathroom with an in-swinging 2'10 door which can be retrofitted to swing out in order to provide the necessary clear floor space in the bathroom?
A. No. The requirements in the Guidelines must be included at the time of construction. Thus, for a bathroom, there must be sufficient maneuvering space and clear floor space so that a person using a wheelchair or other mobility aid can enter and close the door, use the fixtures and exit.
