ADA Compliance

What are the ADA/Fair Housing applications?

Under the Fair Housing Act of 1988, public and common use areas of building containing multi-family dwellings, such as the laundry room, must be accessible. This means individuals with physical disabilities must be able to approach, enter, and utilize the public or common use areas of the building. Few central laundry rooms meet this requirement.

“Reasonable accommodation” means you can save the enormous cost of making a central laundry room compliant by installing washer/dryers in individual residences, giving disabled person full access to laundry facilities. This creates happier residents and saves you the possible aggravation and expenses of a lawsuit.

Front-loading machines can be very easily loaded, unloaded, and controlled from a wheelchair. Most machines can be installed on elevated pedestals to make loading and unloading easier. Clothes are loaded and removed when dry, when they are lighter and easier to handle. The combo machines ability to go directly from washing to drying eliminates the extra trip from the washer to the dryer.
