If so,...Did anyone buy a "condo" there?!<br /><br />If so, they're going to be wishing they didn't. I'd be seriously pissed, to pay what was it, $400k for a unit? And the inhabitants won't be paying even as much as their monthly condo fees.<br /><br />I'd be looking for a way out.

It was supposed to be earmarked for struggling artists. It had the required number of "handicap accessible" units. It did not need more because it was not designated as another facility built to accommodate the disabled. <br /><br />What was unfair was to give out the apartments to random generic welfare recipients.

Just installing bars by a toilet and in a bathtub and making doors wide enough for wheelchairs, scooters and power chairs to go through doesn't meet the need of those who are not ambulatory. I know someone who was asked about their needs and they said a roll in shower. They were led to believe there would be five units that would have this accommodation. They were not. There are no apartments in this area with roll in showers. This populatiin is living on SSI which is barely enough to live on. They did not chose to be this incapacitated . This was so unfair to misinform this individual .

They have proven themselves not trustworthy because they knew the outcry from taxpayers over this mess.<br /><br />Moral to the story is simple, if either council is hawking any idea about downtown or future expansion, taxpayers beware and don't believe any of them. I am not convinced the arts council wasn't aware of what was going on.

It is common practice to provide those untis on the first floor to avoid the expense of an elevator. If the correct number of units are provided on the first floor, and those units have access in compliance with ADA regulations and have the interiors of the units designed in compliance with ADA regulations, then they are in compliance. ADA also allows for units to be convertible, meaning that if they are not currently in compliance (i.e., accessible bathtubs are not installed, or doorways are not large enough)then those units must be able to be converted if a need exists for someone with a disability. My point is this: don't assume lack of elevators equates ADA non-compliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
