This exemplifies the the folly of the ADA. Answer these five questions and get five more. Answer any one of the five questions and get five more. All of that to determine if address numbers are required to have braille. Put the braille.1. What state/city, or more specific, what applicable building code?
2. Is it more than 3 condos?
3. Any public funds used to develop the condos?
4. Are the condos part of a larger mixed use development that may include public spaces within the same areas of circulation?
5. Are any of the condos also live-work spaces where the public may visit for business reasons?
FHA does not require it for the dwelling units, but does "recommend" it at common area accessible doors for compliance with ANSI.A business condo and public spaces in a residential condo would require braille for room numbers with the following exception:
"Building directories, menus, seat and row designations in assembly areas, occupant names, building addresses, and company names and logos shall not be required to comply with [ADASAD] 216"
I don't see requirements for signage in the HUD Fair Housing Amendments
