Establishes minimum regulations for the design and construction of new homes to provide visitability to such homes by persons with disabilities

Summary

The bill adds a new article to the Real Property Law that sets minimum design standards—such as an accessible entrance, wide interior doors, reachable controls, and a wheelchair‑friendly bathroom—for new single‑family and small multi‑unit homes that receive state or federal financial assistance. It seeks to make these homes “visitable” for people with disabilities while allowing exemptions where site conditions make compliance unreasonable.
