Elevators in Westchester County must be inspected annually under the New York Uniform Code and ASME A17.1 standards, with municipal building departments enforcing certificates of inspection.
Under 19 NYCRR Part 1228, elevators in New York must be inspected at least annually by a NY-licensed elevator inspector following ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Westchester municipal building departments in Yonkers, White Plains, Mount Vernon, and other cities issue certificates of operation, post inspection placards, and investigate accidents. Five-year full load tests are required. Property owners must maintain logbooks and respond to deficiency notices. Outages exceeding 48 hours in residential buildings may trigger WCDOH habitability concerns. Owners hire third-party inspectors approved by the municipality.
Operating an elevator without a current inspection certificate can result in fines from 500 to 5,000 dollars per day and immediate shutdown by the local building official.
