Fairfax County requires annual inspection of all passenger and freight elevators under the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, with current operating certificates posted in each car and maintained by licensed contractors.
Elevators in commercial buildings, multifamily housing, and public facilities across Fairfax County must be inspected annually by certified inspectors under the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) Part 3 and ASME A17.1 standards. The Fairfax County Department of Land Development Services (LDS) issues operating certificates after passing inspection, which must be displayed inside each elevator car. Building owners contract with licensed elevator companies for routine maintenance. Failed inspections result in red-tagging and immediate out-of-service status until repairs are verified. Tysons high-rises and Reston towers represent the largest concentration of regulated elevators.
Operating an uncertified elevator: civil penalties up to 2,500 dollars per day; red-tag shutdown until reinspection; tenant displacement liability possible.
