Aging in Place Guide for Building Owners

This “Aging in Place Guide for Building Owners,” created through a collaboration of the New York City Department for the Aging and the American Institute of Architects New York Design for Aging Committee, recommends residential building upgrades to accommodate older tenants. By making these improvements, building owners can help residents remain in their homes as they age – safely, comfortably, and independently. While the recommendations are made with seniors in mind, many of the suggested improvements would make buildings and apartments more livable for residents of all ages.
