The Soho Alliance sent out an email about the lawyers who take advantage of the Americans with Disabilities Act to squeeze settlements from businesses large and small—and old buildings, especially those in historic districts (where changes are impossible and/or expensive). It included this important bit of advice: “Lawyers the SoHo Alliance has consulted advised there is a simpler solution to avoid this shakedown and to assist legitimate disabled individuals at the same time. Namely, install a $20 wireless doorbell and a blue ‘ADA Accessibility’ compliancy sign by the front door for the handicapped person to summon assistance. That may suffice. However, to be 100% safe, provide a portable folding ramp available online for less than $100.”
