Fort Wayne elevators are regulated by the Indiana DHS under IC 22-15 and 675 IAC 21. Annual inspection by a state-licensed inspector is required and the current certificate must be posted in each cab.
IC 22-15-5 and 675 IAC 21 require all elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, and similar conveyances in Indiana (with limited residential exceptions) to be registered, permitted, inspected, and maintained according to ASME A17.1 and related standards. Owners must hire a state-licensed elevator contractor for installation and alterations. Annual safety inspections by a state-licensed inspector are required, and the certificate must be posted in the elevator car. Fort Wayne multi-family buildings, office towers, and public facilities all fall under this system. Residential elevators in single-family homes have limited exemptions but still must meet safety code. Out-of-service elevators must be locked out and cannot be returned to service until re-inspected.
Operating an elevator without current certificate: stop use order plus fine of up to 10,000 dollars per violation. Repeated failures can lead to license action against the contractor.
