A builder begins construction of an eight-unit apartment building with no elevator, and first occupancy will occur after completion in 2027. Under the Fair Housing Act's design and construction rules, which statement is most accurate?

Correct Answer

D) The ground-floor units and common areas are generally subject to the accessibility requirements

For covered multifamily dwellings under the Fair Housing Act, a building with four or more units and no elevator generally must provide required accessibility features in the ground-floor units and applicable common areas. The absence of an elevator narrows coverage in a no-elevator building, but it does not eliminate it.

Answer Options
A
Only the top-floor units must be accessible because they have the best views
B
Only units rented with federal subsidy are covered
C
None of the units are covered because the building has no elevator
D
The ground-floor units and common areas are generally subject to the accessibility requirements
