Section 5:23-12A.6 - Special inspection and compliance procedures

(a) If, upon inspection or test, a qualified elevator device inspector who is employed by a qualified firm shall find that an elevator device is in a dangerous condition, or if there is an immediate hazard to persons riding on or using any such device, the qualified elevator device inspector, on behalf of the qualified firm, shall immediately prohibit any further use of such device and shall give written notice of this action and of the condition to the owner, the enforcing agency having jurisdiction and the Division of Codes and Standards, and shall take such other steps as may be necessary to protect the public. Once the device is placed out of operation, it shall remain out of operation until such time as the qualified elevator device inspector shall issue a certification, on behalf of the qualified firm, indicating that the dangerous condition or immediate hazard has been removed or corrected and that the elevator device is safe for public use. Such a certification shall be forwarded to the enforcing agency having jurisdiction, the Division of Codes and Standards and the owner before the device may be placed back in operation.

1. If, upon inspection or test, deficiencies beyond the scope of this subchapter are observed, the qualified elevator device inspector shall issue a report on such findings to the owner and shall forward a copy to the construction official and the Division of Codes and Standards.

(b) If the enforcing agency having jurisdiction shall determine, at any time, in response to a complaint or otherwise, that an elevator device is in a dangerous condition or that there is an immediate hazard to persons riding on or using that device, the enforcing agency shall prohibit any further use of the elevator device until the condition is corrected, and shall require the owner of the elevator device to make such repairs as may be necessary, or take other corrective action, within such time as the enforcing agency may prescribe. The enforcing agency may charge a fee not exceeding $ 100.00 for each such inspection or reinspection.
