Elevators in Mecklenburg County are inspected and certified annually by the NC Department of Labor Elevator and Amusement Device Bureau under NCGS 95-110.3. Residential elevators in private homes are exempt but must meet ASME A17.1 on installation.
Annual NCDOL inspection covers commercial, multifamily, and public-use elevators. Certificate of Operation must be posted in the cab. Owners must retain a licensed elevator mechanic for monthly tests and maintain a logbook. Common violations include missing door-lock monitoring, worn ropes, and outdated firefighter recall testing. Private residence elevators are exempt from state annual inspection but installation must comply with ASME A17.1 Part 5.3 and require a Mecklenburg County building permit. ADA Title III applies to elevators in places of public accommodation.
