ASKING RIDGE, NJ – New Jersey Based real estate firm, The Garibaldi Group LLC , has completed a 52,068 s/f build- ing sale at 170 Mount Airy Rd. in Basking Ridge. Peter Blanchard , principal, and Lee Barnes , vice president, represented both the sell- er, Hooper Holmes, Inc., as well as the buyer, McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Car- B to show your clear intent to maximize ADA compliance.” The curb appeal of a property may also increase or decrease a property owner’s chances of get- ting slapped with an ADA law- suit. “Imagine an ADA plain- tiff’s attorney cruising down a busy thoroughfare on the prowl for possible violators,” says Muse, who blogs about ADA issues at ADAmusings.com. “Is the sign over that handicapped space dented, rusted and hang- ing at a 45-degree angle? Is your wheelchair ramp rotting or in need of a new paint job?” Visual cues send a message to aggressive plaintiffs’ attorneys, because “they know that inat- tention on the outside means
penter (MDM&C). Hired by Hooper Holmes in October of 2013, The Garibaldi Group was given the task of disposing of the building, which was con- structed in 1970 on 8.39 acres. The building offered a unique opportunity to be a fee simple owner in the highly desirable area of Somerset County, with immediate accessibility to the Mt. Airy Road/Interstate 287 four-way interchange and also a greater possibility of ADA violations on the inside,” he counsels. “By contrast, a spiffy appearance could potentially send the message that this property owner is savvy about ADA. The drive-by attorney might just drive on by.” Commercial property own- ers should also keep up with changing ADA regulations, Muse advises. That’s because regulators are intent on more than just providing access; they also want property owners to actively promote it. “It is one thing to keep a swimming pool lift in storage and haul it out with much fan- fare whenever a person needs it,” according to Muse. “It is another to have a fixed, fully
close proximity to other ve- hicular arteries such as Routes 78, 202 and 206. After several months of mar- keting this asset to both the user and investment com- munity, The Garibaldi Group team was able to identify an experienced and knowledge- able buyer. The Garibaldi Group will be retained byMDM&C as its rep- resentative moving forward. n functional lift at the ready—one that does not require the assis- tance of a team of lifeguards for it to actually be used.” Another huge growth area for ADA—and one he says is quite relevant for commercial building owners, managers and real estate agents—is the need to make sure that their websites are accessible to the disabled. “Can a user turn off that seizure-inducing strobe effect? Does your video have a closed-captioning op- tion?” asks Muse. “Moving forward, building owners will need to work with counsel to stay abreast of changing ADA regulations, not just in the brick-and-mortar world, but also in cyberspace.” n
