Elevators in Albuquerque are regulated by the New Mexico Construction Industries Division under NMAC 14.7.10, requiring annual inspection, certification, and a posted current-inspection sticker.
Elevator regulation in Albuquerque is delegated primarily to the New Mexico Construction Industries Division (CID) under NMAC 14.7.10, which adopts ASME A17.1 by reference. Building owners must contract with a state-licensed elevator contractor for annual inspection and testing, file the certificate of inspection with CID, and post a current sticker inside the cab. Albuquerque permits and code enforcement coordinate with CID on related fire-life-safety issues such as recall keys, emergency communications, and accessibility under ADA. Out-of-service elevators must be tagged.
Operating an elevator with an expired certificate can lead to red-tag shutdown by CID, civil penalties, and liability if injury occurs; repeat lapses jeopardize the building's certificate of occupancy.
