Handicap access
Who enforces handicapped parking in Texas condos can my condo eliminated some of the handicapped parking and moved other handicapped spaces?
Review Texas law about handicapped access to condominiums. Your association may be obligated to provide handicap access, but it may not be required to make the parking spaces available at exactly the place you want them. It's a good idea for you -- assuming that you are a handicapped owner -- to work this out with your board of directors.

A plumber designs a handicap bathroom with all of the features closer to the ground. This is so that people in wheelchairs can access the features more easily.
Is it mandatory for a residential Condominium Complex to offer handicap parking spaces and if yes how many spaces are required per building?
Your question is answered by federal accessibility laws, which may dictate handicap access, depending on the use of the building. Further, your state condominium law and your governing documents may recommend or dictate the number, location, and assignment of handicap parking spaces depending on the density of the complex. Your best answer is available from your local association-savvy attorney who will help you understand the requirements in your case given the details, above.
Can a Condominium Community restrict Handicap parking with reduced hours?
Condominium communities can develop restrictions according to their power given them by the governing documents. However, local, state and federal law regarding handicap access must be followed in crafting these restrictions. All handicap access statutes trump association governing documents.

What are the laws and codes that govern requirements for wheelchair ramps for condominiums in CA?
Since condominiums are private residences, getting the access you need may be problematic. Work with the board to determine whether or not the association is in compliance with the local laws and codes, then if these assets can be made available to you. If no access is available, you may not want to buy into that association, or rent a unit there.
Is a condo terrace a common area?
There is no standard as to how terraces are owned in condominiums. Read your governing documents to learn about terrace ownership, maintenance, access and so forth.
Handicap accessibility for condos?
Usually state law governs handicap accessibility in dwelling units. Some condominiums, especially those built more recently, will have at least one handicap parking space and may also have a unit with wider hallways, doors and so forth for handicap-owner occupancy. It may also be true that these access-centric assets have been sold to owners without a true need for them. It's a good idea when looking for a unit to buy, that you understand the current situation within the association as to its accessibility-based ownership. The state law may determine that if you -- as a handicapped individual -- are interested in buying handicap-centric assets within the community, that the association must accommodate you. Then, again, it may not. If you already own a unit and become handicapped, you can work with your board to modify the interior of your unit to accommodate your needs. Then, you can also work with the board to swap or otherwise acquire the designated handicap parking space, or develop a space that you can use easily.
What are the threats without access control?
Without an access control system, thieves could break into your building easier and steal your property or hurt the people in the building. If a criminal knows your building has weak security, it will be a much more likely target than a building that has a strong security system. One of the best methods of building security is biometric access control. Biometric access control systems use finger print scanners to restrict access to the building or certain areas of the building so only those approved can enter.
