PA Department of Labor and Industry regulates elevators under the Elevator Law (34 Pa. Code Ch. 7). Annual inspections required; certificates must be posted. McKeesport Code Enforcement handles complaints.
Passenger and freight elevators in McKeesport commercial buildings, hotels, and multi-family residences are regulated by the PA Department of Labor & Industry, Bureau of Occupational & Industrial Safety, under the Pennsylvania Elevator Law (34 Pa. Code Ch. 7). All elevators must be inspected at least annually by a PA-licensed elevator inspector, with certificates of inspection posted in the elevator cab. Elevators must conform to ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Alterations and new installations require PA L&I permits. In McKeesport — many older mid-rise buildings downtown — failing inspections result in immediate out-of-service orders. Building owners are responsible for routine maintenance contracts with qualified service companies.
Operating an elevator with expired certificate: PA L&I fines up to $1,000 per day and out-of-service order. Failure to correct deficiencies: additional penalties and potential court injunction.
