What is a CASp inspection?
Certified Access Specialist (CASp) inspections refer to in-depth assessments conducted by independent third parties to ascertain compliance or noncompliance with accessibility regulations, specifically as it relates to meeting individuals with disabilities’ access needs.
Inspection is the practice of performing an exhaustive examination of buildings, facilities, and associated elements to ascertain compliance with applicable accessibility standards, such as those set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or relevant codes.
Legal Benefits of CASp Inspection in San Francisco

Inspections conducted by CASp provide property owners and operators with assurances that they comply with accessibility laws, giving them confidence that all legal obligations have been fulfilled.
Early resolution of compliance issues
By quickly and thoroughly inspecting properties for accessibility issues using CASp inspection, early resolution may lead to less costly litigation and legal disputes related to ADA compliance issues.
Avoidance of costly legal battles
Proactively addressing accessibility issues identified through CASp inspection can help avoid protracted and expensive legal battles arising from noncompliance with ADA requirements.
Compliance with local ordinances
San Francisco and other municipalities may enact local ordinances with additional benefits or requirements for properties subject to CASp inspection, thus strengthening legal protection even more.

Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of inspections depends on property size and complexity. Typically, standard commercial properties take only several hours, while more complex structures might take much more time for a thorough review.
The frequency of CASp inspections depends on a range of factors, such as property modifications, changes to accessibility regulations, and property owner preference. Regular checks should be undertaken in order to maintain ongoing compliance.
If a property is found noncompliant, the CASp inspection report will detail any identified barriers and provide remediation steps. Property owners are then encouraged to address these issues so as to achieve and maintain accessibility compliance.
