All passenger elevators in Manchester buildings fall under New Hampshire RSA 157-B, requiring annual inspection by state-licensed elevator inspectors, posted certificates of operation, and immediate shutdown of any elevator that fails inspection or shows safety defects.
New Hampshire RSA 157-B and the NH Mechanical Safety and Licensing Program govern elevator safety statewide, and Manchester adopts the rules through Chapter 70's reference to state building and safety codes. Owners of apartment buildings, offices, hotels, and the Amoskeag Mills redevelopment must contract a licensed elevator company for routine maintenance and arrange annual third-party inspections. Inspection certificates must be posted inside each car. Failed inspections require corrective work and re-inspection before service resumes. New installations and major alterations need permits filed with both the state Mechanical Safety Bureau and Manchester's Building Department.
Operating an uncertified elevator violates RSA 157-B and can prompt state shutdown orders, civil penalties, and city Chapter 70 enforcement; building owners face liability for injuries from neglected equipment.
