Section 4.1.6, Alterations
An alteration is a change to a building or facility that affects or
could affect the usability of or access to the building or facility or
any part thereof. There are three general principles for alterations.
First, if any existing element or space is altered, the altered element
or space must meet new construction requirements (section 4.1.6(1)(b)).
Second, if alterations to the elements in a space when considered
together amount to an alteration of the space, the entire space must
meet new construction requirements (section 4.1.6(1)(c)). Third, if the
alteration affects or could affect the usability of or access to an area
containing a primary function, the path of travel to the altered area
and the restrooms, drinking fountains, and telephones serving the
altered area must be made accessible unless it is disproportionate to
the overall alterations in terms of cost and scope as determined under
criteria established by the Attorney General (Sec. 4.1.6(2)).
