DOB Elevators

What are the fees for filing a late elevator inspection?

Inspections must be filed with the Department of Buildings within 60 days after the test date, or correction date if a correction. Reports filed after this period will be marked late, and subject to monthly late fees:

  • Category 1 Annual Inspection: $150/month
  • Affirmation of Correction: $150/month
  • Category 5 Inspection: $250/month

To be clear, while you can file inspections late with penalty, you may not perform inspections late. That is, you cannot perform an elevator inspection in January 2020 and file it for the 2019 cycle. Failing to perform the test within the appropriate cycle will lead to the full penalty, applied in the form of an administratively issued violation.
