DD. ADA compliance is only required for buildings with more than 50 employees
Explanation
The ADA requires places of public accommodation and commercial facilities to be accessible to persons with disabilities.

Non-compliance creates liability for both the property owner and business tenants. Older buildings may require accessibility upgrades.
