Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they dive into the hot-button topic recently highlighted in a MultifamilyBiz.com article: the multifamily housing industry's growing reliance on ADA accessibility overlays and the potential risks they pose. This episode unpacks why these quick-fix solutions are becoming increasing litigation targets — and why they often fall short of delivering true accessibility.
In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy provide an in-depth analysis of the article's key points, discussing how accessibility overlays frequently fail to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and may leave multifamily operators exposed to compliance risks. They'll explore the pitfalls of relying on automated overlays versus implementing comprehensive accessibility solutions that ensure inclusivity for all users, including those with disabilities.
Kerry and Jimmy's Words of Wisdom: " Accessibility overlays have proven to be a liability, not a solution. True accessibility starts with understanding and addressing the needs of all users — not just a failed attempt at checking a compliance box. Multifamily operators have a responsibility to create digital spaces that are inclusive, user-friendly, and legally compliant. It's time to move beyond shortcuts and invest in lasting, meaningful accessibility improvements that benefit everyone."

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
