Business Contracts Public Restrooms Phoenix, AZ

[PhoenixBird]

A business chain out here in AZ, (deleted), does not offer public restrooms, and insists that customers go to a different business. I know according to the ICC IPC chp 4, sec. 403, table 403.1, it shows that a business is required a certain number of water closets per number of maximum occupants. What state official or group should I ask about this problem? I have seen children, and women have to go running to a different business to take care of nature.

Lots of retailers do not offer public restrooms and post this in and out of their stores. There are many legitimate reasons to do this. Your options are to use restroom elsewhere, go before you get there or hold it

Nothing in that code says a retail establishment HAS to provide facilities for the public. Many stores do not, and will often post a sign saying so.

Sorry but not illegal..........................

Is there an ordinance in the City of Tucson that requires businesses to make their bathrooms available to the public? Alternatively, is there an ordinance that supports a business's decision to deny public access to its bathrooms? My company would like to post a sign stating that our restrooms are not open to the public, and we would like to display an ordinance sticker that supports our choice to restrict public access to our bathroom facilities.

I did a search and found many articles about restrooms in Arizona but none that address your specific question. Which is not to say that that there aren't any. I just don't have the time for a wider search.

I suggest you run your own search or have your company's lawyer research the question for you.

...or ask the city.

Doubtful. Here's a link where you can browse and search the City of Tucson (AZ) City Code.

Also doubtful.

What sort of business operation is this? It's not inconceivable that certain types of businesses are required to have restrooms available to customers.
