Assuming it is privately financed, 4 or more units in a single building per FHA/IBC. Local codes may vary

The same thing that triggers an apartment to have accessible units. Condominium is only a form of ownership.

If the condominium has four or more units and no elevator, all ground floor units will be required to comply with the Fair Housing Act for accessibility including all common elements. If the condominium has an elevator, then all of the units will be required to comply with the Fair Housing Act.
