The elevator subcode is regulated under the Uniform Construction Code in Subchapter 12. They can give the state jurisdiction, they can hire their own local subcode official, or they can subcontract to a third party agency. If the state has jurisdiction of a town, the Elevator Safety Unit coordinates inspections between the owner, elevator company and the state. Owners are billed directly for inspections by the state. The local construction official is notified of the elevator release and permit documentation is coordinated between the required parties.
Technical assistance is given to all parties requesting help regarding the elevator subcode.
Monitoring of subcode officials and inspectors in municipalities and third parties are done on a routine basis. A penalty enforcement process is in place within the unit to cite delinquent owners of violations.
