Owner

Mark J. Mazz, AIA

 

In the late 1970’s, Mr. Mazz began his accessibility career with the University of Maryland's Section 504 Transition Plan. Since then, he has provided architectural and accessibility services to owners, architects, engineers, developers, construction managers, advocacy groups, and governmental agencies. From 2000 to 2008, Mr. Mazz was an architect in DOJ’s Housing and Civil Enforcement and Disability Rights Sections and the senior advisor on accessibility issues in HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.

More than 80% of his career has focused on accessibility. The other 20% of his work has been standard architectural design and construction observation. Since 2000, Mr. Mazz has focused exclusively on the ADA, the FHA, Section 504, the ABA, and accessible design issues. He serves on the Boards of Jewell’s Place (formerly CALMRA), a community-based residential service provider for adults with cognitive disabilities, the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation, and the APA.
