Have a question in regards to ADA compliment restrooms.
Working with a landlord and one of the vacant suites has 2 restrooms. 1 is ADA compliant and the other isn’t (was used for solely for employees). There are common area restrooms that are ADA compliant. With a new tenant coming in and whether they choose to take space as-is or do some TI’s, what will landlord need to do to avoid any fines?
