Assessments Designed for Real Life.
Personalized accessibility assessments for homes and residences, with a special focus on aging adults, people with disabilities, and families navigating changing needs. Based in New York City and available nationwide.
Our residential assessments help you understand how your home truly works today and what needs to change to support safety, comfort, and independence over time.
Residential Accessibility Assessments
Homes are rarely designed for changing mobility, sensory needs, or cognitive shifts. Small barriers can quickly become safety risks or daily frustrations. Our residential assessments are thoughtful, practical, and focused on real use, not generic checklists.
Each assessment is led directly by Access Built founder Alex Norman and informed by years of experience working with aging adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, and families.
Available in New York City and surrounding areas.

Certified Aging-in-Place Expertise for Residential Assessments
All residential assessments are informed by Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist expertise (CAPS) and the Friction Point Method. This nationally recognized certification focuses on helping people remain safely and comfortably in their homes as they age.
Our recommendations consider all mobility, safety, sensory needs, and long-term usability, not just code requirements.
Who Residential Accessibility Assessments Are For
Older adults who want to remain safely in their homes
Adult children supporting aging parents
Families planning ahead after a diagnosis
Homeowners preparing for renovations or resale
Commercial ADA and Facility Accessibility Assessments
Our certified specialists provide accessibility assessments for commercial buildings, ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and identifying barriers that impact usability. We conduct ADA accessibility inspections for large properties, evaluating entrances, restrooms, parking, pathways, and common areas to pinpoint gaps and deliver practical solutions.
You'll receive a detailed compliance report with clear recommendations, and for large properties, we offer annual assessment bundles with the option to submit results to local compliance authorities, keeping your business aligned with evolving regulations.
