2nd Circuit Finds Alterations May Open Resort to Disabilities Act

The scope of a property owner's obligation to make a public accommodation accessible to the disabled when alterations are made to the property was fleshed out Thursday by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Reversing a lower court, the circuit said a resort in Montauk, N.Y., underwent significant enough renovations so that it might be required under the Americans With Disabilities Act to make changes to allow access to customers who use wheelchairs.
