California accessibility enforcement - AHJ or CASp?

[Codegeek]

I have a question for those in California, who is charged with enforcing the provisions for accessibility when a building permit has been issued? Is it the local jurisdiction? If it is the local jurisdiction, why would the AHJ ask for the building owner for a report from a CASp?

It depends, typically it the Authority having jurisdiction.

The BO may not be qualified to render a judgment and may ask the building owner for a CASp report.

There is nothing that requires a CASp report. And the BO is not empowered to require one.

A CASp certified person has no Authority to enforce the Accessibility standard or Codes

This is a tenant improvement project for a six-story building. The inspector has been making calls on accessibility issues, some of which were not justified. A few days ago, the BO recommended that the owner provide a report from a CASp. Now the BO is requiring the report.

The BO is using 110.3.8, other inspections, for their ability to ask for the CASp report.

Someone on the design team familiar with California Accessibility Codes need to step forward.

Remember thereare differences in the California Accessibility Codes from the ANSI and ADAAG standards

Where in CA is it? I am not a CASP. but might be able to refer you to one.

I work for the design firm and I'm the most familiar with the accessibility provisions, but not to the extent of someone from California. I'm trying to help the project architect.

An example of a call from the inspector was to make all of the electric charging vehicle stations accessible. My research resulted in our firm proposing that only one of the stations needed to be accessible as only eight stations were provided.
