Sidewalks with uneven parts are likely going to fall out of ADA compliance and this is a huge issue. These issues in a sidewalk, which could result in pedestrian injury, are known as trip hazards. Accidents can happen at any time but the ones you can prevent on your property are your responsibility. While trip hazards can happen due to reasons such as trailing cables, wet floor surfaces or objects left in the way, it would be truly irresponsible to oversee projects that have damaged floors or potholes. Even if the work was done before you purchased or began managing the property, you must now be in charge of resolving issues that arise. Read on to learn more about having your sidewalk leveled, and how PCC can help!
Any sidewalks or walkways in front of or near buildings or property you own, will be walked on by many people over the course of time. Legal responsibility belongs to the property owner for any trip hazards that can cause injury to pedestrians, both able-bodied and handicapped. In any case, it also does not look appealing or professional to have a less-than-safe sidewalk and it could make you look like you are not concerned over others’ wellbeing.
The ADA compliance rule was put into place in the 1990’s to ensure that a walkway is accessible for someone who uses wheelchairs, crutches and the like. Having this knowledge will bring you one step closer to giving your sidewalk leveling a safe and professional look.
