We are proud to share that Joshua S. Bauchner, Partner in the Landlord-Tenant and Litigation Practice Groups at Mandelbaum Barrett PC, was recently featured on Commercial Real Estate Pro Network (CRE PN) Radio to discuss the surge in nuisance ADA lawsuits affecting property owners, landlords, tenants, and commercial operators nationwide.
In this episode, Josh breaks down key issues reshaping ADA litigation today, including:
✅ The rise of “private attorney general” lawsuits driven by attorney fee recoveries rather than genuine accessibility concerns.
✅ A 319% national increase in ADA filings over the last decade — with more than 2,200 lawsuits in NYC alone in 2023.
✅ How testers are used to inspect properties and generate copy-and-paste complaints.
✅ Common targets: legacy buildings, small businesses, restaurants, retail spaces, and commercial tenants caught between landlord–tenant compliance disputes.
✅ The costly challenges of remediation, federal court litigation, and financial disclosure demands placed on small operators.
Josh offers practical guidance for commercial real estate owners and tenants on mitigating ADA risk, understanding compliance obligations, and navigating these rapidly escalating claims.
