Elevator inspections in Penn Hills are regulated by the PA Department of Labor and Industry Bureau of Occupational and Industrial Safety under 34 Pa. Code Chapter 7. Annual inspections by certified inspectors are required. Penn Hills has no separate municipal elevator inspection program.
Elevator safety in Pennsylvania is regulated exclusively at the state level by the Department of Labor and Industry Bureau of Occupational and Industrial Safety under 34 Pa. Code Chapter 7 (Elevators, Escalators, Moving Walks, Dumbwaiters, Chair Lifts, and Lifts for People with Disabilities). The PA Elevator Division requires registration of all devices, initial installation inspections, and recurring annual safety inspections. Inspections must be conducted by L&I-certified elevator inspectors (either state inspectors or approved third-party inspectors). Building owners are responsible for scheduling inspections and maintaining the device in compliance with ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators adopted by reference. Certificates of operation must be posted in elevator cars and are renewed annually. Maintenance is typically performed under contract with licensed elevator service companies. Violations can result in orders to cease operation, fines, and shutdown of non-compliant devices. Penn Hills itself does not conduct elevator inspections or impose additional municipal requirements. Building owners with elevators should maintain a documented maintenance log, respond promptly to any inspection deficiencies, and keep ASME A17.1 compliance current through qualified service providers.
