Elevators in Sacramento multifamily and commercial buildings are inspected and permitted by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, with Sacramento Building requiring proof of state operating permits before occupancy and during code complaint review.
Under California Labor Code sections 7300 and following, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) Elevator Unit issues installation, alteration, and operating permits and conducts annual inspections for conveyances, including elevators in apartments and condos. Sacramento Title 15 Building Division requires that the state permit be current before final occupancy and incorporates state findings during code complaint and tenant habitability investigations. Owners must keep the certificate posted in or near the elevator. Out-of-service elevators in occupied multifamily buildings can become a habitability and ADA accessibility issue.
Operating without a current state permit can result in Cal/OSHA red-tag orders, civil penalties, and state-issued shutdown orders. Sacramento can add habitability complaints and rental program referrals.
