There are exceptions to every rule, but generally in NYC, if it's a one or two family dwelling, you don't need to be accessible. If it's 3 or more units, and is a walk up, then only the ground floor units need to be accessible. If it's an elevator building, everything has to be accessible.
Hi everyone. Where can I find if I need a disability access in a new residential building?
Thanks in advance!
Pay an architect to tell you.
Well, I'm not an owner or a developer
Just follow the signs and it will direct you to the nearest disability access, they look like this:
You're welcome.
I think it's like in some code book thingy.
Look in the NYC 2014 building code, starting with chapter 11, and appendix P. There's also local law 58-1987, and a number of DOB buildings bulletins, TPPN's, etc. that touch on accessibility issues.

Also, ramps. Everything needs a ramp.
I believe LL 58 has been rescinded.
