4 COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT SAFE HARBORS What are the ten "safe harbors" for compliance with the Fair Housing Act and where I can I find them? HUD recognizes ten safe harbors for compliance with the Fair Housing Act's design and construction requirements. They are: 1. HUD Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines published on March 6, 1991 and the Supplemental Notice to Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines: Questions and Answers about the Guidelines, published on June 28, HUD Fair Housing Act Design Manual 3. ANSI A117.1 (1986), used with the Fair Housing Act, HUD's regulations, and the Guidelines. 4. CABO/ANSI A117.1 (1992), used with the Fair Housing Act, HUD's regulations, and the Guidelines. 5. ICC/ANSI A117.1 (1998), used with the Fair Housing Act, HUD's regulations, and the Guidelines. 6. Code Requirements for Housing Accessibility 2000 (CRHA). 7. International Building Code 2000 as amended by the 2001 Supplement to the International Codes. 8. International Building Code 2003, with one condition*. 9. ICC/ANSI A117.1 (2003) used with the Fair Housing Act, HUD's regulations, and the Guidelines 10. International Building Code 2006, with the January 31, 2007 Errata * Effective February 28, 2005 HUD determined that the IBC 2003 is a safe harbor, conditioned upon ICC publishing and distributing a statement to jurisdictions and past and future purchasers of the 2003 IBC stating, "ICC interprets Section , and specifically, the exception to Section , to be read together with Section , and that the Code requires an accessible pedestrian route from site arrival points to accessible building entrances, unless site impracticality applies. Exception 1 to Section is not applicable to site arrival points for any Type B dwelling units because site impracticality is addressed under Section " Information about these safe harbors as well as HUD s policy with respect to their use may be found in Report of HUD Review of the Fair Housing Accessibility Requirements in the 2006 International Building Code.

6 Florida s Fair Housing Act 2008 Florida State Statutes (c) Any person associated with the buyer or renter. (8) It is unlawful to discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection with such dwelling, because of a handicap of: (a) That buyer or renter; (b) A person residing in or intending to reside in that dwelling after it is sold, rented, or made available; or (c) Any person associated with the buyer or renter.

(10) Covered multifamily dwellings as defined herein which are intended for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, shall be designed and constructed to have at least one building entrance on an accessible route unless it is impractical to do so because of the terrain or unusual characteristics of the site as determined by commission rule. Such buildings shall also be designed and constructed in such a manner that: (a) The public use and common use portions of such dwellings are readily accessible to and usable by handicapped persons. (b) All doors designed to allow passage into and within all premises within such dwellings are sufficiently wide to allow passage by a person in a wheelchair. (c) All premises within such dwellings contain the following features of adaptive design: 1. An accessible route into and through the dwelling. 2.

State agencies with building construction regulation responsibility or local governments, as appropriate, shall review the plans and specifications for the construction of covered multifamily dwellings to determine consistency with the requirements of this subsection. History.--s. 5, ch ; s. 2, ch ; s. 2, ch Compliments of Page 3 of 3 October 1, 2008 Larry M Schneider AIA
8 COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT Units Covered by the Fair Housing Act The Fair Housing Act design and construction requirements apply to "covered multifamily dwellings" designed and constructed "for first occupancy" after March 13, A building was not designed or constructed for first occupancy if: It was occupied by March 13, 1991 If the last building permit or renewal of a building permit was issued on or before June 15, 1990 Buildings where the last building permit was issued on or before June 15, 1990 are not covered by the design and construction requirements. Even if the last building permit was issued after June 15, 1990, if the property was occupied before March 13, 1991, it is not covered. HUD adopted these dates to allow time for the requirements to be considered during the design and construction phase of new properties. The "first occupancy" language in the statute has been defined in HUD's Fair Housing Act regulations as "a building that has never before been used for any purpose." This means buildings that are rehabilitated are not covered by the design and construction requirements even if the rehabilitation occurs after March 13, 1991 and even if it is substantial rehabilitation. A dwelling unit includes: A single-family unit in buildings with four or more units An apartment A room in which people sleep even if they share kitchens or bathrooms, like transitional housing The design and construction requirements apply to "covered multifamily dwellings". Covered multifamily dwellings are: 1. All dwelling units in buildings containing four or more dwelling units if the buildings have one or more elevators AND 2. All ground floor units in other buildings containing four or more units, without an elevator. This includes housing that is for rental or for sale and applies whether the housing is privately or publicly funded. Condominiums and apartment buildings are covered by the design and construction requirements. So are time-shares, dormitories, transitional housing, homeless shelters that are used as a residence, student housing, assisted living housing, and others. Compliments of Page 1 of 1 October 1, 2008 Larry M Schneider AIA
9 COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT In order to be in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, there are seven basic design and construction requirements that must be met. These requirements are: Requirement 1. An accessible building entrance on an accessible route. All covered multifamily dwellings must have at least one building entrance on an accessible route unless it is impractical to do so because of the terrain or unusual characteristics of the site. An accessible route means a continuous, unobstructed path connecting accessible elements and spaces within a building or site that can be negotiated by a person with a disability who uses a wheelchair, and that is also safe for and usable by people with other disabilities. An accessible entrance is a building entrance connected by an accessible route to public transit stops, accessible parking and passenger loading zones, or public streets and sidewalks. Requirement 2. Accessible common and public use areas. Covered housing must have accessible and usable public and common-use areas. Public and common-use areas cover all parts of the housing outside individual units. They include -- for example -- building-wide fire alarms, parking lots, storage areas, indoor and outdoor recreational areas, lobbies, mailrooms and mailboxes, and laundry areas. Requirement 3. Usable doors (usable by a person in a wheelchair). All doors that allow passage into and within all premises must be wide enough to allow passage by persons using wheelchairs. Requirement 4. Accessible route into and through the dwelling unit. There must be an accessible route into and through each covered unit. Requirement 5. Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats and other environmental controls in accessible locations. Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats and other environmental controls must be in accessible locations. Requirement 6. Reinforced walls in bathrooms for later installation of grab bars. Reinforcements in bathroom walls must be installed, so that grab bars can be added when needed. The law does not require installation of grab bars in bathrooms. Requirement 7. Usable kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchens and bathrooms must be usable - that is, designed and constructed so an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver in the space provided.
