Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you need an inspection?
Chapter 399, Florida Statutes requires elevator inspections on all units except elevators serving only two adjacent floors with a full service maintenance contract continually in force. However, for liability reasons, a code inspection on the two-story units is highly recommended.
Changes to Florida Law, signed by Governor Bush on June 5 2002 and effective the same day, require Third Party Inspections performed annually.
Regular inspections play a crucial role in the safety and code compliance of each elevator. Quality inspections provide elevator owners and property managers a tool for evaluating the condition of their equipment while identifying areas requiring improvement or correction.


What is a Third Party Inspection Company?
A Third Party Inspection Company must be registered with the Florida Bureau of Elevator Safety, with Certified Elevator Inspectors, insured at least in the minimum limits required by law, and be independent of your elevator maintenance company.
Having your equipment inspected, and code required test witnessed, by a certified elevator inspector is the key to determining your equipment's safety and correctly identifying problems related to excessive wear or equipment age.
