State law requires that the owner re-register their elevator units with
the Commissioner annually. The annual re-registration will coincide with the periodic annual inspection.
The Safety Inspection Unit will send notice alerting the owner that the periodic annual inspection and
re-registration is due. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the elevator unit is re-registered
and the periodic annual inspection is performed. Failure to do so is a violation of the law and subject to
penalty.
Inspections are conducted in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Safety Code for
Elevators and Escalators, Safety Code for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts and the American National Standard
(ANSI) Safety Code for Personnel Hoists and Employee Elevators for Construction and Demolition Operations. Safety
codes become effective on the date adopted by the Commissioner.
