# What accessibility construction requirements does HUD impose under 24 CFR 200.926? Answer in under 100 words. Cite only eCFR (www.ecfr.gov) sources.

Under 24 CFR 200.926, HUD does not impose specific accessibility construction requirements. The regulation sets minimum property standards for one- and two-family dwellings covering structural loads, fire safety, light and ventilation, foundation systems, materials, construction components, glass, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, and mandates ASCE 7-88 for seismic design. However, it does not address accessibility features such as ramps, door widths, or accessible routes.

## Details / How it works

Section 200.926 outlines minimum property standards for one and two family dwellings, including applicable structures, new construction requirements, and code evaluation criteria. It requires compliance with standards for structural loads and seismic design, fire safety, light and ventilation, foundation systems, materials standards, construction components, glass, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems.

## Numbers & thresholds

| Requirement | Value |
|-------------|-------|
| Accessibility numeric thresholds | None specified |

## Exceptions & edge cases

Accessibility requirements for housing are addressed in other HUD regulations, such as 44 CFR 60.3 for floodplain management, not in 200.926.
