The story of a problem with an accessible ATM that caused a problem

[jar546]

The ATM is not what was shown on the prints. It was suppose to be flush with the framing for it. This caused a problem with the accessible counter in this bank in a new Walmart.

I will have to let my Dad know...they are remodeling his now I believe, and I know he had been fighting with them over accessibility....

if they would just build the picture submitted inspections would be some much easier

as built, it may sorta kinda allow parallel approach; even if the ATM was flush, I doubt there would be forward approach

Just as a side note, that ATM doesn't look accessible itself.

what's on the other side of the ATM, Jar?

 

[ICE]

It appears the most of the counter is still accessible. If that's not legal, how about eliminating that portion of the counter that is in violation? A potted plant and a trash can aught to do it.

I'm not sure any of the counter is accessible for forward approach. It's not going to be easy to fill out a deposit slip (especially for a left handed person) with parallel approach.

A wall and a tenant on the other side.

It does not meet side approach as there is no forward approach.
