Elevators in Mountain View must be inspected and permitted by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) Elevator Unit, with annual permits and regular maintenance required.
In California, elevators are regulated by the Cal/OSHA Elevator Unit under Labor Code 7300-7324 and Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. In Mountain View, building owners must obtain and renew an annual permit to operate each elevator, display it in the cab, and maintain records of routine maintenance by a licensed contractor. Cal/OSHA performs periodic inspections and can red-tag non-compliant units until repairs are verified. Routine maintenance includes testing of safety devices, brakes, hoist cables, door operators, and emergency communication. Modernization projects trigger plan review. Condominium and apartment owners must ensure common-area elevators remain operational, and HOAs typically fund upkeep through reserve contributions.
