Orlando follows Florida Statute Chapter 399 and the Florida Building Code for elevator certification, requiring annual inspections by state-licensed inspectors and posted certificates inside every cab in commercial and multi-family buildings citywide.
Florida preempts elevator regulation under Statute Chapter 399, administered by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, but Orlando enforces companion provisions through Code Chapter 27 building permits and inspections. Owners of multi-family, hotel, condo, and commercial buildings must contract with a licensed elevator company for routine maintenance and arrange annual safety inspections. Certificates of operation must be conspicuously posted inside each cab. Downtown Orlando high-rises, theme park hotels, and Orlando International Airport facilities all fall under the regime. Code enforcement responds to expired certificates, while DBPR handles mechanical violations and accident investigations.
Operating an elevator with an expired certificate triggers DBPR fines, possible shutdown orders, and Orlando code citations under Chapter 27 for posting and permit failures.
