§  124.  Inspection  of  building  elevators in Nassau county. 1.  All   elevators in buildings in Nassau county shall be inspected  periodically   for  the  purposes  of  public  safety.  Except as otherwise provided in   subdivision three hereof, each city, town or village shall  inspect,  or   cause  to  be  inspected,  those  elevators  in  buildings  under  their   jurisdiction in conformance with the local building code of  such  city,   town  or  village,  if  there be one, and only if the provisions of such   code are at least as stringent as the minimum standards set forth in the   New York state building code with respect to the installation, operation   and maintenance of building elevators. Any  city,  town  or  village  in   Nassau  county  which  does not have a local building code or regulation   with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of  building   elevators  or  has  a  building  code  or regulation with respect to the   installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators which  are   less  stringent  than  the  minimum  standards set forth in the New York   state building code with respect  to  the  installation,  operation  and   maintenance  of building elevators shall within one year next succeeding   the effective date of this section, adopt a local law  providing  for  a   building  code  or  a regulation relating to the installation, operation   and maintenance of building elevators or amend any existing provision of   a  building  code  or  regulation  with  respect  to  the  installation,   operation and maintenance of building elevators so as to assure that the   provisions  of  such  building  code or regulation as adopted or amended   with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of  building   elevators  shall  be  at least as stringent as the minimum standards set   forth  in  the  New  York  state  building  code  with  respect  to  the   installation,  operation and maintenance of building elevators provided,   however, that any village within a town within such county  may  consent   by  adoption  of  a  resolution  of  its  governing  body, to permit the   installation, operation and maintenance  of  building  elevators  within   such village to be subject to the provisions of a local building code or   regulation  of such town with respect to the installation, operation and   maintenance of building elevators within such town and the  adoption  of   such  resolution  shall  exempt such village from adopting or amending a   building code or regulation with respect to the installation,  operation   and maintenance of building elevators within such village.2.  It  shall  be  a further duty of such cities, towns or villages in   Nassau county to require by local law or ordinance in the same manner as   provided for in subdivision one of this section that mirrors  be  placed   in the rear of elevators subject to inspection in subdivision one hereof   so  as  to  make  the  interior  thereof  visible prior to entering such   elevators.3. Each town within Nassau county shall, upon the request of a village   located  within  such  town,  perform  or  cause  to  be  performed  the   inspection required by subdivision one hereof, provided however, that no   village  may  make  such  request  unless  the  village  has  adopted  a   resolution  of  their  governing  body   consenting   to   subject   the   installation,  operation  and  maintenance  of building elevators within   such village to the provisions of the local building code or  regulation   of the town relating thereto.4.  Any  person  who  knowingly and wilfully violates any provision of   this section or who violates or  fails  to  comply  with  any  order  or   requirement  of  an  inspector or other officer charged with the duty of   inspecting elevators, shall be guilty of a  violation  punishable  by  a   fine  of  not  more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not   more than fifteen days.
