ADA Compliance Inspection of Car Dealership

Car Dealership Sign

Richard Acree of ADA Inspections Nationwide, LLC, recently completed an inspection of a large full-service new and used car dealership for compliance with the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design. Please see the photo on the right.

The ADA compliance inspection included the parking lot, lobby, employee work areas, toilet rooms, exterior entrances, office entrances, conference rooms, cafeteria, and stair cases. Special emphasis was placed on an employee who was returning to work from a medical event that will require her to live and work in a wheelchair.

A written Property Condition Report (PCR) was prepared for the Client to describe the discrepancies with respect to the ADA and included recommendations for remediation or mitigation. Photographs of the discrepancies are included in the PCR and, if applicable, diagrams are provided to indicate how a discrepancy should look after alteration. Please see a sample PCR at Sample Report. The PCR was used to improve the overall ADA compliance of the facility.
