Why Choose Us For Your Industry?
Navigating CBC Chapter 11B in Multi-Family Environments
In California, accessibility is a rigorous legal mandate under the California Building Code (CBC). For apartment complexes, this requires that access routes from public right-of-ways to unit entries be continuous, stable, and unobstructed. As paving experts, we analyze cross-slopes and running slopes to ensure they do not exceed allowable limits, preventing legal risks and ensuring safety for all residents.

Managing Routes of Travel and Concrete Grading
The “Route of Travel” is the most scrutinized component during apartment inspections. A slope variance of as little as 0.5% can invalidate a project. We specialize in sidewalk rectification, curb ramp installation with detectable warnings, and surface leveling to meet Fair Housing Act and ADA standards.
Preventative Maintenance and Seasonal Readiness
Northern California’s climate can rapidly degrade accessible surfaces. Cracks and asphalt settling create trip hazards that violate ADA regulations. It is essential to prepare parking lots for winter to avoid costly repairs that compromise accessibility during the rainy season.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Access ramps in California must have a maximum slope of 8.33% (1:12 ratio). Cross-slopes must not exceed 2.08% to ensure wheelchair stability. Technically, the California Building Code (Chapter 11B) requires level landings every 30 feet of horizontal run. Any surface with a slope exceeding 5% is legally classified as a ramp and must include handrails and edge protection.
The number depends on the total spaces, but typically starts at one accessible space per 25 spots. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be Van Accessible. Spaces must be at least 108 inches wide for standard vehicles and 144 inches for vans, with an adjacent 60-inch access aisle, all marked with reflective blue paint and regulatory signage.
Truncated domes are detectable warning surfaces with raised circular patterns that alert visually impaired pedestrians they are leaving a sidewalk and entering a vehicular traffic area. They must feature a contrasting color (usually Federal Yellow) and meet exact diameter and spacing specifications per ADA and California Title 24 standards to be legally valid.
It is recommended to refresh striping every 12 to 24 months. Visibility is a legal requirement; if blue lines or access symbols fade, the property loses technical compliance. Constant traffic and UV rays degrade pigments. We use thermoplastic and high-traffic paints that resist abrasion, ensuring access aisles remain clearly defined for user safety.
Yes. While ADA focuses on public and commercial areas, the FHA applies to the design of multi-family housing built after 1991, requiring accessible routes to all units. In practice, California contractors must design to the stricter of the two standards, ensuring that all common areas and paths to ground-floor units are fully navigable without steps.
Surface vertical changes greater than 1/4 inch are considered trip hazards and violate the ADA requirement for a “stable, firm, and slip-resistant” surface. Preventative maintenance via crack filling and patching is essential. A degraded surface not only increases liability but also voids the site’s accessibility certification by preventing smooth rolling.
