Is or Isn't an alteration?

[Brad Cannon]

Does your jurisdiction consider re-plastering of a commercial pool as an "alteration" thereby triggering ADA compliance?

 

[ADAguy]

Interesting, does pool have a lift, steps with handrails (or not), a poolside shower (or not?

 

[mark handler]

I do not know of an exemption in the code in chapter 1 or 11B that you exempt.
Is the cost over $150k? if not you only need to spend 20% on access upgrades....

 

[Brad Cannon]

No lift but three locations with steps and handrails. Yes pool side shower and restroom/lockers available which are all accessible.

I agree... but I need to determine if it is considered an alteration because that what triggers accessibility requirements. Getting some push back from PW on if it is an alteration or consider regular maintenance.

 

[mark handler]

How much are you doing?
Repair a section or plastering the pool.
I use 100 sq. ft. as a general rule for roofing gyp, bd. or wall plastering.

They must be doing more than that?

No plumbing or electrical

 

[Brad Cannon]

They plan on plastering the whole pool. Sq. ft. is 2,035 ... thanks.

Not a pool guy, but would that be something like painting a whole exterior of a house ?? If so would you require upgrades on that?

 

[Brad Cannon]

Nope... no respect! Uggg... and yes there's plumbing upgrades probably the anti entrapment devices etc. oh yea and some tile and deck work. LOL!

 

[cda]

If you have time give it a day or two for more responses.

Plus might bring up all the lawsuits because of ada. Our city is trying to upgrade as much as possible

 

[Brad Cannon]

Thanks for the comments. Appreciate everyone's time.

 

[Mr. Inspector]

I would call it a repair

A city seldom does repairs without upgrades:::

""yes there's plumbing upgrades probably the anti entrapment devices etc. oh yea and some tile and deck work. """

 

[ADAguy]

"Ouch"! tile and deck work is an accessible surface, at the least you will need to provide POT to area of work, a lift and compliant parking.

I think you already need the lift per ADA....

 

[steveray]

REPAIR. The restoration to good or sound condition of any
part of an existing building for the purpose of its maintenance.

I'd call it a repair.....

Some of the requirements under the ADA do not require updates or remodeling of the facility to trigger compliance for municipal properties. Municipalities are required to make all of their facilities compliant or at the very least have plans developed to do it over a specific period of time. The requirement for a lift for pool access is 1 of these and was not only mandated for municipal pools but also for hotels etc.
