Elevators in Keller are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under the Texas Elevator Law. Annual inspections by a TDLR-certified inspector and a current certificate of compliance are required.
Elevators, escalators, and other conveyances in Keller commercial and multi-family buildings are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the Texas Elevator Law (Health and Safety Code Chapter 754) and 16 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 74. The City of Keller does not run its own elevator program but requires compliance with state law as part of building permit and Certificate of Occupancy issuance. Requirements include annual inspections by a TDLR-certified elevator inspector using ASME A17.1 and ASME A17.3 standards, a current Certificate of Compliance posted in the equipment, registration of new units with TDLR before installation, licensed elevator contractors for installation and major alterations, licensed mechanics for servicing, and written maintenance agreements kept on site. Single-family private residential elevators are generally exempt from TDLR inspection but must still meet ASME A17.1 at installation. Alteration permits are required for modernization projects. Non-functioning elevators must be taken out of service promptly and signed appropriately. In case of entrapment, the building owner must call a licensed mechanic or 911.
Operating an elevator without a current Certificate of Compliance is a TDLR violation with administrative penalties up to 5,000 dollars per day. Building inspection issues may also trigger Keller code compliance fines up to 500 dollars per day.
