How does this work for blind people???



From the article:

> A tenant with a disability should notify the landlord of their need for a reasonable accommodation, requesting an alternative to the app, like a traditional key. If the landlord does not comply with the request, the tenant can file a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights

I imagine this exception would also apply to some conservative Jewish tenants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_on_Shabbat

> The Conservative movement's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards has argued that "refraining from operating lights and other permitted electrical appliances is a pious behavior," but is not required, while also stating that the use of some electrical devices (such as computers, cameras, and smartphones which record data) is forbidden on the sabbath


Don’t know if it’s changed but historically iPhones has stellar usability and were very usable for blind people. Applications are more of a crapshoot, all the affordance APIs are here but they have to be used.
