A.5.7.3.9 Repair Replace Recommendation for Accessibility Deficiencies

A. Accessibility repairs may be prepared in the CNA e-Tool by using the Repair Replace Recommendation screen as follows:

1. Accessibility Indicator. If a repair, replacement or alteration is recommended to correct an identified accessibility deficiency, then this indicator should be answered “yes,” in which event items 2, 3, 4 and Appendix 5, Section A.5.7.3.10 below must be completed. If the accessibility indicator is “no,” then these entries may be left blank. A “yes” answer places the item on the Critical accessibility repairs.

2. Time to Complete. If accessibility indicator is “yes” then the time to complete must be entered as a number of months that should be specific to the particular recommendation and not to all accessibility remedies in general. Each remedy is to be implemented or completed as soon as possible, notwithstanding any different schedule as may be necessary for other remedies.

3. Accessibility Statute. If the accessibility indicator is “yes” then the Needs Assessor must indicate which statute defines the deficiency, or if the recommendation addresses a deficiency under multiple statutes, identify the statute with the most stringent requirement.

4. Scope of Accessibility Compliance. If the accessibility indicator is “yes,” then the Needs Assessor must provide a short text description of the particular accessibility requirement that is missing or violated (e.g. usable kitchen). This description should include any relevant dimensions or physical measurements. Sketches or drawings with appropriate photographs may be provided by the Needs Assessor and attached to the CNA for submission.
