INSPECTIONS

Elevator inspection requirements vary by state as to frequency and types of inspections. A common misconception is that the elevator service company is the one held accountable to remain compliant. However, it is the responsibility of the building owner to comply with mandated inspections. Liberty Elevator Experts offer the highest quality inspections that reduce owner liability concerns and ensure public safety.

Typically, the state does notify the building owner regarding inspection requirements, but it can’t hurt to keep detailed records and reminders of inspection renewal dates. At Liberty Elevator Experts, we can perform your inspections and guide you through correcting any deficiencies so that you can avoid any down time.
