2021-08-10 12:29:0008/10/21 1ST PLUMBING REVIEW**DENIED** WITH COMMENTS
  
 NOTE - A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW COULD NOT BE DONE AT THIS
 TIME, AND ADDITIONAL PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS MAY BE
 GENERATED UPON THE RE-REVIEW OF SUBMITTED CORRECTIONS.
  
 1. THIS BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING
 ACT. WOULD YOU PLEASE INDICATE ON PLANS WHICH DESIGN
 SPECIFICATION ( "A" OR "B" OF THE ACT) WAS USED IN THE
 ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THESE UNITS? TELL US WHICH USABLE
 BATHROOM IN THE DWELLING UNITS AND THE PROPOSED
 ALTERATION IN THE BATHROOM SHALL ALSO COMPLY WITH THE
 FAIR HOUSING ACT.
  
 THIS BUILDING MAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED UNDER THE FAIR
 HOUSING DESIGN MANUAL OR THE FAIR HOUSING GUIDELINES.
 THIS NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED BY RESEARCHING WHEN THE
 BUILDING WAS BUILT AND REQUESTING PLANS FROM THIS
 CITY'S WEBSITE. THIS MAY INCUR A FEE AND TIME TO
 RETRIEVE ALL THIS INFORMATION. IT IS UP TO THE
 ARCHITECT TO REQUEST THE INFORMATION AND DETERMINE IF
 THE LEVEL OF ACCESSIBILITY IS ALTERED. WE REQUIRE TO
 SHOW THE DIMENSION OF THE CLEAR FLOOR SPACE IN THE
 BATHROOM IN FRONT OF EACH FIXTURE IN THAT BATHROOM. THE
 RESEARCH WILL TELL IF IT'S AN A OR B TYPE BATHROOM.
  
 THE FAIR HOUSING ACT PROVIDES TWO SETS OF
 SPECIFICATIONS TO DESIGN BATHROOMS USABLE BY PEOPLE
 WITH DISABILITIES. THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER DIFFERENCES,
 SPECIFICATION B BATHROOMS OFFER GREATER ACCESS TO THE
 TUB THAN SPECIFICATION A BATHROOMS.
  
 IF THE SPECIFICATION A DESIGN IS SELECTED, ALL
 BATHROOMS IN THE UNIT MUST COMPLY WITH THE
 SPECIFICATION A STANDARD (SECTION 7.14). THIS INCLUDES
 ACCESS TO ALL FIXTURES IN EACH SPECIFICATION A BATHROOM
 (E.G., TWO LAVATORIES IN ONE BATHROOM WOULD BOTH NEED
 TO MEET FHA REGULATIONS).
  
 IF THE SPECIFICATION B DESIGN IS SELECTED, ONLY ONE
 BATHROOM IN THE UNIT AND ONE OF EACH TYPE OF FIXTURE
 WITHIN THE BATHROOM MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFICATION B
 STANDARDS (SECTION 7.15). ALL OTHER BATHROOMS IN THE
 UNIT MUST MEET THE USABLE BATHROOM REQUIREMENTS
 (SECTION 7.11), EXEMPTING MANEUVERING CLEARANCES, AND
 CLEAR FLOOR SPACE REQUIREMENTS AT FIXTURES.
  
 2. THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH BUILDING DEPARTMENT
 PROVIDES AN OPTION FOR CHANGING AN FHA COMPLIANCE
 STRUCTURE. THE OWNER AND DESIGNER OF RECORD ACKNOWLEDGE
 THAT THE PROPOSED BATHROOM DESIGN DOES NOT MEET THE
 FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES REQUIREMENTS. THE
 OWNER AGREES TO REVERT THE UNIT BACK TO COMPLIANCE AT
 THE TIME OF SALE IF SO, REQUESTED BY THE BUYER. THIS
 WILL BE IN A LETTER-TYPE FORMAT SIGNED AND NOTARIZED BY
 THE OWNER. WE PROVIDE A SAMPLE LETTER, AND IT MUST BE
 SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF
 WPB. IF THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO
 [email protected], AND I WILL SEND A COPY OF THE FAIR
 HOUSING AFFIDAVIT.
  
 YOU MAY CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED
 HELP WITH THIS PROCESS.
  
 WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS, PLEASE INDICATE THE REVISION &
 REMOVE ANY VOIDED SHEETS & REPLACE ANY NECESSARY PAGES.
 A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW
 COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION
 MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE
 THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND, WILL HELP EXPEDITE YOUR
 PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION.
