NC Department of Labor Elevator and Amusement Device Bureau has statewide jurisdiction over elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, and chair lifts. NCGS 95-110.5 requires permits for installation, alteration, and operation. New installations are inspected at completion. All elevators must receive an annual inspection by NCDOL inspectors or an authorized insurance inspector. The resulting certificate of operation must be posted visibly in each cab. Owners must contract with a licensed elevator maintenance company for regular preventive maintenance. Emergency phones in cabs must connect to a 24-hour monitored service under ASME A17.1 Safety Code. Residential home elevators in single-family dwellings have limited exemptions but still require permits and inspections for installation.
Operating an elevator without a current certificate is a violation of NCGS 95-110.5 and can result in stop-use orders and civil penalties.
