Miami-Dade County’s Building Department enforces Florida Statutes Chapter 399 and ASME A17.1 elevator standards, requiring annual inspections, certified mechanics, and posted certificates in all multifamily, commercial, and public buildings.
Florida Statute Chapter 399 sets statewide elevator safety rules, and the Miami-Dade Building Department administers compliance for unincorporated areas and most cities. Owners of multifamily, commercial, and public buildings must contract a state-licensed elevator company, schedule annual safety inspections, and post the current state certificate inside each cab. Outages that strand passengers or fail safety devices must be reported to the Building Department, which can red-tag a unit until it is repaired and reinspected. Condominium associations must also comply with the milestone structural inspection law (FL SB 4D) when their elevator equipment serves coastal high-rises.
Operating an elevator with an expired certificate, skipping the annual inspection, or ignoring red-tag orders results in escalating Chapter 8CC penalties, building closure orders, and possible criminal referrals.
