Fair Housing Amendments Act (FHA) into plan development. It will

also highlight typical errors made by contractors in the field during

construction. Practical solutions for avoiding oversights to help

architects conform to the accessible design and construction

requirements of the New York City Building Code and the FHA will

be offered



What You Will Learn:

 *   A brief overview of Federal Accessibility Laws
 *   How to avoid non-compliance when developing plans
 *   How to avoid non-compliance during construction
 *   Real world examples of common violations and practical solutions
