SECTION
11B-202 Existing buildings and facilities
11B-202.4 Path of travel requirements in alterations, additions and structural repairs.
Exceptions:
4. Alterations solely for the purpose of barrier removal undertaken pursuant to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (Public Law 101-336, 28 C.F.R., Section 36.304) or the accessibility requirements of this code as those requirements or regulations now exist or are hereafter amended consisting of one or more of the following items shall be limited to the actual scope of work of the project and shall not be required to comply with Section 11B-202.4.
INTERPRETATION
Projects consisting solely of ADA barrier removal in response to court-ordered remediation might not necessarily result in compliance with CBC Chapter 11B. In this case, these areas may not be designated as "accessible", and may not be used in meeting accessibility requirements or path-of-travel requirements for any subsequent projects in the area. Non-compliance with Chapter 11-B must be clearly indicated in the barrier removal documents and signage to truly accessible facilities must be added where necessary.
