Periodic Inspections (NYC)
Routine Inspections. Real Compliance. Zero Surprises.
Stay on Track with NYC Elevator Inspection Requirements
In New York City, the Department of Buildings (DOB) mandates Periodic Inspections for all active elevator systems. These inspections must be conducted at regular intervals independent of annual or Category 1/5 testing and failing to comply can result in fines, violations, or even elevator shutdowns.
At Patriot Elevator Services, we simplify the entire process—from pre-inspection readiness to documentation filing so your property stays safe, legal, and operational.
