Q&A

Chair Joseph on building accessibility rating system

New York City Council · Jun 8, 2026 · starts 0:41:49 · 28 sec

Joseph asks if CUNY has a building accessibility rating system similar to NYC Public Schools. The Chancellor says CUNY does not but would be interested in learning about the DOE model.

Rita C. Joseph

New York City Public Schools developed a building accessibility rating system to determine how accessible a building is and where they could improve.

Rita C. Joseph

Does CUNY have a similar model to determine accessibility needs?

Félix Matos Rodríguez

I don't think we do.

Rita C. Joseph

You don't.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

So love to learn more.

Rita C. Joseph

But you would eventually probably develop one?

Félix Matos Rodríguez

I mean, we'd love to look at the model of the deal if it makes sense for us.

Rita C. Joseph

Yeah.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

Absolutely.

Rita C. Joseph

It includes an assessment and how do you plan it.

Rita C. Joseph

It's really good.
