Full Breakdown
Section 3001.1 of the city's adopted building code, amended by Hendersonville Municipal Code § 12-102(6) (Ord. 2025-04), states that Chapter 30 governs the design, construction, installation, alteration, and repair of elevators and conveying systems in Hendersonville, Sumner County, Tennessee. The same amendment specifies that any elevator regulated by the State of Tennessee must be inspected and kept in compliance with applicable state regulations, and that state law controls if it conflicts with the city's adopted code. Hendersonville does not run a separate city elevator maintenance or inspection program beyond this scope provision.
Violations & Fines
Elevator maintenance and inspection compliance runs through the State of Tennessee's elevator regulations rather than a separate Hendersonville penalty schedule; any conflict between the city's adopted code and state law is resolved in favor of state law.
