= Financial implications = * I have seen some notes with incentives for both for profit and non-profit, however, there are no specifics in those notes * One possibility is that non-profits which incur non-exempt income, and perhaps that is why it's possible to find incentives that mention non-profits. * Should discuss with IRS regardless * Also trying to find grants for non-profits == Enforcement == DOJ’s and DOT’s ADA Standards are not a building code, nor are they enforced like one. :: * They constitute design and construction requirements issued under a civil rights law. :: * The ADA’s mandates, including the accessibility standards, are enforced through investigations of complaints filed with federal agencies, or through litigation brought by private individuals or the federal government. :: * Entities covered by the law ultimately are responsible for ensuring compliance with the ADA Standards in new construction and alterations. With respect to the Uruh Civil Rights Act, The code of California states: :: (5.1.5c) "This section shall not be construed to require any construction....or modification what is required by law..." :: (5.2a) "Whoever denies...or makes any discrimination contrary to section 51, 51.5, or 51.6...is liable for each and every offense for the actual offense...no less than 4,000 dollars" In general, landlords and tenants are jointly responsible for compliance with access laws, at least from the standpoint of third-parties (eg, disabled visitors to the property); :: however, landlord and tenants are free to shift the allocation of responsibility between them by contract. In many jurisdictions including California, this obligation is presumed to rest with the landlord :: landlord may contract with others (including tenants) to fulfill this obligation, but will never be relieved of it with regard to the claims of third parties == Penalty == As the ADA constitutes a requirement by law to make spaces accessible, California's code makes any and every violation a violate of civil rights, with a penalty of at least $4,000 for each instance of a violation, not just the existence a violation.
