Before you use the result
A consistent, dated record does two things: it helps you prioritize repairs, and it shows a good-faith history of identifying and addressing accessibility issues over time. This tool lets you log observations as you walk a property — date, specific location, category, severity, and what you saw — and then print or save the whole log as a PDF.
Nothing you enter is stored on our servers; the log lives in your browser until you print or save it. It's a documentation aid, not legal advice or a compliance determination — keep entries factual and dated, and consult a qualified professional or attorney about your obligations.
Transparent assumptions
How this calculator works
Log each observation. Add the date, the specific spot (row and space, or a landmark), a category, a severity, and a short factual note about what you observed.
Organize by severity. Entries are tagged High, Moderate, or Low so the most important items stand out when you review or hand the record to a contractor.
Print or save. One click prints the log or saves it as a PDF for your files, a board packet, or a contractor scope — with your property name at the top.
Frequently asked questions
Why keep a documentation log of parking lot issues?
A dated record helps you prioritize and budget repairs, hand a clear scope to contractors, and demonstrate a good-faith, ongoing effort to identify and address accessibility concerns. Memory and scattered notes don't hold up the way a consistent log does.
Is my log stored or shared anywhere?
No. The log lives only in your browser during your session and isn't saved to our servers or shared. Use the print or save-as-PDF option to keep a copy for your records before you leave the page.
What should each log entry include?
The date you observed it, the specific location (row and space number, or a landmark), a category such as access aisle or signage, a severity level, and a short factual description of what you saw. Photos, kept with the log, strengthen the record further.
Can I use this log as legal evidence of compliance?
This is a documentation aid, not legal advice or proof of compliance. A log can support a good-faith maintenance history, but obligations and what counts as adequate documentation depend on your situation and jurisdiction — consult a qualified professional or attorney.
How often should I walk the lot and update the log?
A seasonal review is a reasonable baseline, plus a check after winter and any time you're planning striping or paving work. Striping fades and pavement moves over time, so periodic, dated updates keep the record meaningful.
Before you hire: The Pavement Directory does not provide legal or compliance advice. ADA and accessibility requirements vary by site, jurisdiction, and project scope. Contractors may perform striping, grading, concrete, or asphalt corrections, while CASp inspectors or accessibility consultants may be needed for compliance review. Consult qualified professionals when compliance is material.
