Can residents request modifications to communal facilities for accessibility or inclusivity purposes?

Yes, residents can request modifications to communal facilities for accessibility or inclusivity purposes. Many countries have laws and regulations in place, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States, that require property owners to make reasonable modifications to ensure accessibility to individuals with disabilities.

In most cases, residents can contact the relevant property management or homeowners association to request modifications or accommodations. These modifications may include installing ramps or elevators, widening doorways, adding handrails, providing accessible parking spaces, or making changes to the layout of facilities to make them more inclusive.

It is important for property owners to consider and respond to these requests in a timely manner, and to work with residents to find appropriate solutions that meet accessibility standards.
