Wyoming regulates elevators statewide through the Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety, with annual inspections required for elevators in Cheyenne commercial and multi-family buildings.
Elevator safety in Cheyenne is primarily a state matter under Wyoming Statute Title 35 and rules administered by the Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety. Owners of elevators in Cheyenne commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, schools, and multi-family housing must register units, pay annual fees, and pass yearly inspections by state-licensed elevator inspectors. Maintenance must be performed by licensed elevator contractors. Modernization or new installations require state permits in addition to Cheyenne building permits. Operating an elevator with a lapsed certificate is prohibited and may force temporary shutdown until inspection passes.
Operating without a current state inspection certificate or skipping required maintenance can lead to mandatory shutdown, fines, civil liability for occupant injuries, and revocation of the elevator certificate.
