Multi user restroom. ADA 606.3 reads the same for 2010 & 2014: counter top in front of lav to be not more than 34” aff. I have one that is at 34-1/8” and I need to lower it. (Don’t bother discussing if 1/8” is reasonable, the customer has decided to move it.). Here’s the layout:
The restroom has a toilet partition creating an accessible area, which includes an accessible toilet and a lav. The entire accessible area is fully compliant.
The remainder of the restroom, the area you first walk into, has a second toilet inside a stall, and 2 side by side lavs. The “violation” is the common area lav counter.
Question: since there is a compliant lav in the restroom, does the double lav counter need to be compliant? I guess one could argue that there could be someone in the compliant partition, and a second person wanted to use the double lav.
