DISABILITY ACCESS REQUIREMENTS AND RESOURCES
NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR BUSINESS LICENSES AND
COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS:
Under federal and state law, compliance with disability access laws is a serious and significant
responsibility that applies to all California building owners and tenants with buildings open to
the public. You may obtain information about your legal obligations and how to comply with
disability access laws at the following agencies:
DEPARTMENT OF
GENERAL SERVICES,
Division of the State
Architect, CASp Program
www.dgs.ca.gov/dsa
www.dgs.ca.gov/casp

CERTIFIED ACCESS SPECIALIST INSPECTION SERVICES
Compliance with state and federal construction-related accessibility standards ensures that
public places are accessible and available to individuals with disabilities. Whether your business
is moving into a newly constructed facility or you are planning an alteration to your current
facility, by engaging the services of a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) early in this process you
will benefit from the advantages of compliance and under the Construction-Related
Accessibility Standards Compliance Act (CRASCA, Civil Code 55.5155.545), also benefit from
legal protections.
Although your new facility may have already been permitted and approved by the building
department, it is important to obtain CASp inspection services after your move-in because
unintended access barriers and violations can be created. For example, placing your furniture
and equipment in areas required to be maintained clear of obstructions. For planned
alterations, a CASp can provide plan review of your improvement plans and an access
compliance evaluation of the public accommodation areas of your facility that may not be part
of the alteration.
A CASp is a professional who has been certified by the State of California to have specialized
knowledge regarding the applicability of accessibility standards. CASp inspection reports
prepared according to CRASCA entitle business and facility owners to specific legal benefits, in
the event that a construction-related accessibility claim is filed against them.
To find a CASp, visit www.apps2.dgs.ca.gov/DSA/casp/casp_certified_list.aspx.
