Grab bars at incorrect heights. Doors too narrow for a wheelchair to fit. HUD said investigators went to 16 federally funded housing developments and found that none of the accessible units complied with federal requirements. From DavidZahniser:
North Hollywood resident Mei Ling speaks at a 2017 news conference about a lawsuit she filed, joined by the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging that the city of Los Angeles had reaped millions by falsely claiming it provided sufficient housing for people with disabilities.
In Monday’s letter, HUD said investigators went to 16 federally funded housing developments in June 2017 and found that none of the accessible units in those projects complied with federal requirements. The city, however, has shown a “sustained unwillingness to finalize” the terms of such a pact, federal officials said.
HUD officials said their 2017 survey of the 16 developments identified an array of design flaws, such as noninsulated pipes underneath sinks, which could result in “catastrophic burns” to the legs of people in wheelchairs. Federal law requires that 5% of units in certain federally funded apartment projects be accessible to people with mobility impairments. An additional 2% must be accessible to people with vision and hearing impairments.
