Elevators in Mesa buildings fall under Arizona's state elevator program administered through the Industrial Commission of Arizona, with Mesa Building Safety verifying compliance during occupancy reviews. Annual inspections, certificate posting, and licensed mechanic repairs are mandatory under ARS Title 23.
Arizona regulates passenger elevators, escalators, and lifts under ARS Title 23 through the Industrial Commission of Arizona Elevator program, requiring annual safety inspections by a state-licensed inspector, posting of current certificates inside each cab, and immediate shutdown for any failed safety device. Mesa City Code Title 6 references the IBC and ASME A17.1 elevator safety code for new installations and modernizations, and Mesa Building Safety reviews shop drawings and conducts initial acceptance with the state inspector. Repairs must be performed by an Arizona-licensed elevator mechanic, and Mesa MFMD coordinates with building managers on Phase I and Phase II firefighter recall testing.
Operating an elevator with an expired state certificate or after a failed inspection can result in red-tag shutdown, daily civil penalties under ARS Title 23, and refusal of Mesa final occupancy on new construction.
