Elevators in Rockland County are regulated under NYS Uniform Code and ASME A17.1 safety standards, enforced by local building departments for private elevators and by the NYS Department of Labor for most public and commercial elevators. Annual inspections and permits are required, and maintenance must be performed by licensed elevator contractors.
Elevator safety in Rockland follows NYS Uniform Code adoption of ASME A17.1-2019 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators (referenced in 19 NYCRR 1220-1227). NYS Labor Law §200-201 and 12 NYCRR Part 13 (the elevator safety code) require periodic inspections. Commercial and public elevators are inspected at least annually by NYS DOL-licensed inspectors; private residential elevators are administered by the town or village building department. Category 1 (annual) and Category 5 (five-year) tests must be documented. Repairs must be performed by a NYS DOL-licensed elevator contractor. Building owners must post the current certificate of operation (Form LS-74). Rockland towns (Clarkstown, Ramapo, Orangetown) issue mechanical permits through their building departments for installations and major alterations.
Operating without a valid certificate: NYS DOL fines 1,000 to 10,000 dollars per violation; stop-use orders can close the elevator. Unlicensed elevator work: up to 10,000 dollars per violation under Labor Law §213. Town mechanical permit violations: 250-1,000 dollars per day.
