Hartford elevators are inspected and licensed by the CT Department of Administrative Services Elevator Inspection Unit under CT §29-191, with annual inspections, mechanic licensing, and immediate red-tag authority for unsafe equipment.
CT §29-191 through §29-200 requires annual inspection of every passenger and freight elevator, escalator, dumbwaiter, and platform lift in Hartford, including residential and commercial. The CT DAS Elevator Inspection Unit performs inspections; building owners pay statutory fees and post current certificates inside each cab. Maintenance must be performed by CT-licensed elevator mechanics employed by registered companies. Inspectors can red-tag and shut down equipment for safety defects, missing logs, or expired permits until corrected. Hartford Building Department coordinates with state inspectors on new installations and major modernizations through Ch. 7 permits.
Equipment shutdown, fines up to $5,000 per violation, owner liability for occupant injuries, criminal exposure for operating red-tagged equipment, and license revocation.
