Restroom

BFID: 185810

The portable public restroom is not compliant because it is not an accessible unit, and because the pavement around it has up to 4.6% cross slope.

If sanitary facilities are provided, they must be made accessible to persons with disabilities. If public restrooms are desired, It is recommended that the portable unit be replaced with a permanent built in compliant restroom. The utilization of an accessible portable unit may be a temporary solution and is not recommended as a permanent solution.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 213.1
Where toilet facilities and bathing facilities are provided, they shall comply with 213. Where toilet facilities and bathing facilities are provided in facilities permitted by 206.2.3 Exceptions 1 and 2 not to connect stories by an accessible route, toilet facilities and bathing facilities shall be provided on a story connected by an accessible route to an accessible entrance.

Recommendation:
Provide and maintain an accessible porta-potty. Locate it on a level surface near the parking area or repave a level area under and in front of the porta potty. The cost associated with resurfacing the lot is detailed in a previous finding addressing the lack of an accessible stall in this lot.
