The State of Michigan, not Livonia, regulates elevator installation, alteration, and maintenance through the LARA Bureau of Construction Codes Elevator Division under Public Act 333 of 1976 (MCL 408.801). All new installations and alterations require a state elevator permit, and all elevators in service require annual inspection and a current operating certificate posted in the cab.

Owners must retain a licensed elevator contractor for repairs; unlicensed work is prohibited. Malfunctions that trap passengers must be reported to the state promptly.
