Elevator Compliance Consulting and Oversight

Passing an inspection is one day. Compliance is the other 364. Elevator Compliance Group provides independent elevator compliance services that keep owners current with changing codes, track every violation to closure and produce the documentation an authority, insurer or buyer will ask for.

We act as an independent advisor between the owner, the inspector and the maintenance contractor, with no repair work to sell.

What elevator compliance involves

  • Meeting the state and local elevator code adopted in each jurisdiction
  • Correcting inspection violations within the required timeframe
  • Filing reports and certificates with the authority on time
  • Ongoing oversight of maintenance and repair work
  • Being ready for the next regulatory inspection or audit

We provide end-to-end support, from inspection review through verification that corrections were made correctly.

Independent compliance oversight

Relying on the maintenance contractor to track and self-certify its own corrections is how violations quietly repeat year after year. We review inspection results, track each violation, verify corrective work and confirm it meets the code, serving as a knowledgeable buffer between owners, inspectors and service providers.

Elevator Compliance Management: common questions

What does an elevator compliance consultant actually do?

We read every inspection report, log every violation with its deadline, confirm who is responsible for correcting it under your maintenance contract, verify the correction was made, and keep the records. You get a status view across every unit you own.

We have buildings in several states. Can one firm handle compliance for all of them?

Yes. That is one of the main reasons owners hire us. Requirements differ (who inspects, how often, what gets filed), and we keep a single compliance picture across jurisdictions.

What happens if a violation isn’t corrected on time?

Depending on the jurisdiction: late fees, daily penalties, loss of the operating certificate, or an order to take the unit out of service. We track deadlines so you don’t find out from the authority.
