Elevators in Chesapeake are regulated under the Virginia USBC and ASME A17.1. Annual inspections and certificates of operation are required. Only DPOR-licensed mechanics may service elevators.
Virginia USBC Part III (Existing Buildings) and Part IV (Maintenance) adopt ASME A17.1 and A17.3 for elevators, escalators, and related conveyances. Chesapeake requires a certificate of operation posted in each elevator, renewed annually after inspection by a state-licensed elevator inspector. Maintenance Control Programs and category tests are required on set intervals. Only mechanics licensed by the Virginia Board for Contractors (DPOR) can perform elevator work. Residential private elevators in single-family homes follow ASME A17.1 Section 5.3 with separate standards.
