Sioux Falls relies on the South Dakota state elevator program under SDCL Title 34 to inspect and certify passenger elevators, escalators, and platform lifts in commercial and multi-family buildings.
South Dakota administers elevator safety statewide under SDCL Title 34, and Sioux Falls building owners must comply with state inspection certificates posted in the cab. Elevators in apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals, and commercial properties require periodic inspection, annual testing, and certification by a state-licensed inspector. Sioux Falls Building Services coordinates with state inspectors during plan review for new installations and major modernizations. Certificates must be posted in each car. Operators must keep maintenance logs and address any repair orders before the certificate expires.
Operating with an expired certificate can prompt the state to order the unit out of service and city building services to deny new occupancy approvals.
