The Handicapped Accessible Act of 1990 required accessibility to restrooms.  We live in a 55+ mobile home park where the owner owns the land.  Our club has never brought the restrooms up to code (handicap accessible).  Are they required by law to do so?  This is so hard on our handicapped neighbors in the park.

I would think that you have a good case to bring forth, but living in a mobile home park myself (in California) if your park is owned by a major corporation (such as ours) I don't know if you would have too much luck without taking a legal stance.  We, ourselves, are going through it with rent control issues (our park has raised our space rent $200 in the last 3 yrs) and it is terrible for seniors.  Prayers go out to you in Florida =)

I think it is a local Council issue rather than a Legislative issue (unless you disturb the peace or litter).\n\nCheck with the Local Council to see if you need a permit or if there is a voluntary code of practice.\n\nGood luck

A handicap stall is a stall designed to "accommodate" the handicapped. It is not for handicap use only. You can use it if the other is occupied.  the parking space is "reserved" for handicap parking by law. Why some places put their handicap spots where they do is stupid sometimes. The architects design it that way and they get approval for it.

its a code that every public business has to abide by for sanitary reasons. if they do not have the open front toilet seats they will have points taken off of their heath inspection i believe it is called. might be able to find out more from city hall in your town.

Yeah, depending on your level of disability.  You should have the (your state's name here) Department of Rehabilitation in your phone book.  Are you in Alabama?  If so, I know a guy (I used to work for him) that is legally blind.  He went through the blind vendors program and has two rest areas on I-65 that he keeps up (vending).  I can contact him and he can give me some names for ya, if you'd like.  E-mail me: alabama.mississippi@yahoo.com

Please explain what sort of work permit it is that you are looking for.  The only "permit" for a handicapped person that I can think of offhand is a parking permit that allows them to park in special restricted parking spaces,and at parking meters without charge.

Nope.  It's private property therefore you have to have permission to use it.  Just because it's a parking lot doesn't mean anyone can park in it or park in it long-term.  Generally they have to say they attempted to warn you that you needed to move, a sign does that, but an employee walking out to the car to inform the owner does also (even if the owner is not there the action shows the employee did attempt to inform you that you were no longer entitled to be there).

The ADA does not require automatic doors.\n\nIt would be highly unlikely you could get such a law passed because small business owners would fight you every step of the way. Such a law would require every small business to install automatic doors and would be prohibitively expensive.

There is "The Caravans Act (Northern Ireland) 1963." \nand\nPOLICY HOU15\nRESIDENTIAL CARAVANS AND MOBILE HOMES\n"Planning permission may be granted for a residential caravan or mobile home, for a temporary period only, in exceptional circumstances.\n\nThis policy is currently under review by :\nDraft PPS14-Sustainable Development in the Countryside "

It's up to whoever owns the restrooms. If it's in your own home, its completely legal. If it's at a place of business, the owner has the right to require you to use a male restroom- if he knows you're a male that is.

at the end of the day an adult with learning disabilities has freedom of choice just like you or i, you can advise if you think somthing is dangerous or you can ensure for instance obsticles which may harm or cause accidents are removed, but an adult living on their own with limited care is responsible for themslves, \nsay in day care ther are rules and regs there are adults with severe disabilities that cant be left and those that are less severe that can and should be encouraged to look after themslves

Probably not, but your city or county may have a Housing Code Inspections office that can give you more info.  This may be part of the department of housing or of community affairs.  The below link can give you one community's example but each community may have its own standards.

The ADA regulations establish minimum standards for ensuring accessibility when designing and constructing a new facility or altering an existing facility, and requires such standards be met in "places of public accommodation" (businesses and non-profit agencies that serve the public) and "commercial facilities" (other businesses).

coming from 32 years of being disabled myself ( i am in a wheelchair permanently) i would say most people that use a chair, scooter etc. probably needs it but i have saw some people who were trying to trick their insurance company.

Yes there is a law that you are suppose to have a public restroom,however there is many places that does not uphold that law,and they should be closed down until they obey the law......... a lot of people that run a business LIE and say they don,t even when they do,i think its wrong

You need to contact those particular local governments... since each can vary a great deal. I personally have no clue since I nor anyone I know live in a mobil home or trailer park.
