| The Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines provide important technical guidance on designing covered multifamily dwelling units as required by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. An essential reference for anyone involved in the design and construction of multifamily housing, this clearly written book demystifies the accessibility guidelines and helps readers reduce the risk of litigation.
This is the first clear, concise guide available on the Fair Housing Act Accessibility Guidelines, inspired by the author's review (on behalf of HUD) of 400 built projects and the most common mistakes encountered by their architects, builders, and developers. It explains which buildings and units are covered by the law, reviews the seven basic design and construction requirements, and provides concise interpretations with descriptive illustrations.
Shows how the FHA Accessibility Guidelines relate to the new International Building Code, as well as the existing three model codes. |
