Elevators are often taken for granted—until something goes wrong. Behind the smooth ride and seamless operation is a critical layer of safety and compliance that building owners and property managers cannot afford to overlook. That’s where elevator code reports come into play.
We understand the high stakes involved when it comes to elevator safety, and we’ve built our reputation as a trusted partner in ensuring your systems are not just operational, but fully compliant with all codes and regulations.
What is an Elevator Code Report?
An elevator code report is a formal assessment that identifies whether your elevator system is meeting the latest local and national safety codes, such as those outlined by the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. It includes:
Violations or deficiencies found during inspections
References to code sections for each issue
Required corrective actions and compliance timelines
Inspector comments and recommendations
These reports are generated following periodic inspections conducted by government officials or third-party certified inspectors and are a legal requirement in most jurisdictions.
Why Elevator Code Reports Are So Important?
1. Safety
Code reports inform property owners and management of issues that could lead to accidents, malfunctions, or failures. These inspections save lives by flagging problems like faulty doors, outdated safety features, or worn mechanical components.
2. Protect Your Business
Non-compliance can lead to fines, elevator shutdowns, and potential legal exposure. Staying current with code reports and acting on their findings are not only a legal requirement but also helps you stay protected and operational.
3. Plan Ahead
Many issues caught in code reports can be addressed before they become major repairs. This proactive approach reduces downtime and saves money in the long run.
4. Tenant Satisfaction
No one wants to live or work in a building with unreliable or unsafe elevators. Clean code reports are a silent reassurance to tenants and visitors that they’re in good hands.
