Building owners must hire a private elevator inspection agency to conduct annual inspections and submit the required documentation to the Department of Buildings (DOB) online in DOB NOW: Safety.

Submit compliance filings, register for DOB NOW: Safety, or get additional information.

DOB also contracts with private companies to perform regular inspections, but these cannot be scheduled.

If required, a licensed professional can make inspection appointments for new construction or alteration elevator permits and/or to address a violation online in DOB NOW: Inspections.

Request an inspection appointment, register for DOB NOW: Inspections, or get additional information.
