Project: Residential "R1" building. Two story.
I know that Fair Housing (FHA) requires installation of blocking for future adaptation of grab bars. This would apply to all apartment units on the ground floor and those floors made accessible by an elevator.
My question is this:
Where the building is used by transients (R1 occupancy similar to a Hotel or Motel), does the same FHA rule apply?
This is not an ADA question and, yes, a minimum number of fully accessible ADA units are provided elsewhere. My question relates to the other non-ADA living units.
Thanks!
