Elevators in Westland commercial and multifamily buildings are regulated under Michigan Public Act 333 of 1976 and require state permits, annual inspection, and licensed maintenance.
Elevators, escalators, and related conveyances in Westland are regulated by the State of Michigan under Public Act 333 of 1976 and administered by the Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes Elevator Division. Installation requires a state elevator permit, plan approval, and inspection by a state-licensed elevator inspector. Every elevator must receive an annual state inspection, and any accident or unusual event must be reported. Maintenance must be performed by a Michigan-licensed elevator contractor. Building owners are responsible for keeping the state inspection certificate posted in or near the elevator and ensuring firefighter service, emergency lighting, and emergency phones function. Westland does not duplicate state elevator regulation but may enforce property maintenance where unsafe conditions are reported.
