The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for accessibility apply primarily to:
AAll residential rental properties with more than 4 units
BPublic accommodations and commercial facilities, not typically private residential housing✓ Correct
CAll properties sold through REALTORS®
DAll properties built after 1988
Explanation
The ADA primarily applies to public accommodations (hotels, retail stores, restaurants) and commercial facilities—not to private residential housing. Residential housing is covered by the Fair Housing Act's design and construction requirements (for buildings built for first occupancy after March 13, 1991 with 4+ units). Illinois commercial real estate transactions often involve ADA compliance audits for properties intended for public use.
