Camporosso Wood Fired Pizzeria, ADA Violation, Kentucky 2024

Camporosso Wood Fired Pizzeria, a restaurant in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, has settled a case with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky over allegations of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The ADA requires 'places of public accommodation,' like restaurants and retail establishments, to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to facilities, both by removing physical barriers and by modifying policies or practices to permit appropriate access to people with disabilities.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Camporosso agreed to remove obstructions to the restaurant's accessible parking spaces caused by an expanded outdoor dining area installed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the pizzeria agreed to install signage at the designated accessible spaces, as required by the ADA.

The settlement was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Carrie Pond. The U.S. Attorney's Office will continue to work with businesses and the community in its efforts to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to places of public accommodation under the ADA.

Additional information about the ADA is available at www.ada.gov. To report potential civil rights violations, including potential violations of the ADA, contact the Civil Rights Division at civilrights.justice.gov, or contact the U.S. Attorney's Office directly, at usakye-civilrights@usdoj.gov.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky is committed to enforcing the ADA and ensuring equal access for individuals with disabilities. By working with businesses and the community, they aim to create a more inclusive and accessible environment for everyone.
