Elevators in Broward County are inspected annually by the Florida Bureau of Elevator Safety, with certificates displayed in the cab. Post-Surfside reforms added shaft inspection focus.
Elevator safety in Broward County is administered by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Bureau of Elevator Safety under Chapter 399 Florida Statutes. All elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, and similar conveyances must be registered, inspected annually by a state-licensed elevator inspector, and maintained by a licensed elevator company. Current certificates of operation must be posted in the cab or nearby conspicuous location. Broward County highrise condominiums, office towers, and hotels along A1A and downtown Fort Lauderdale contain thousands of regulated elevators. Post-Surfside milestone inspections under FL 553.899 evaluate structural integrity including elevator shafts and hoistway walls in buildings three stories or taller at 25 years for coastal properties. Out-of-service units must be tagged and barricaded, and owners face penalties for operating expired or failed equipment. Accessibility compliance with Florida Accessibility Code and ADA is required in new installations and major modifications.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
