QUESTION
In the lobbies of a COA building, do we need to comply with the ADA, even though it's not considered a public space?

More details to this question:
Our COA is informing us that we must install automatic door openers on the doors leading to the garage from the lobby because we are currently not in compliance with the ADA. It's my understanding since these are not public spaces we don't need to comply with ADA.

This needs to be addressed with the COA lawyer if there is some issue regarding ADA compliance in a common area. Typically common areas are considered public spaces because of invitees or subject to ADA issues for disabled residents.
