Which of the following is not a requirement for an accessible entrance in a residential building?

  1. Ramped approach

  2. Automatic door opener

  3. Minimum width of 0.9 meters

  4. Level landing at entrance

The correct answer is: Minimum width of 0.9 meters

An accessible entrance in a residential building requires a ramped approach, an automatic door opener, and a level landing at the entrance. These features allow individuals with mobility impairments to easily enter and exit the building. The minimum width of 0.9 meters (or 36 inches) is actually a requirement for doorways, not for the entrance itself. This width allows for wheelchairs and mobility devices to pass through comfortably. Therefore, it is not a requirement for an accessible entrance in a residential building.
