What Third-Party Witnessing Means

Independent Oversight for Bronx CAT1 and CAT5 Tests

: In the Bronx, certain elevator inspections—including CAT1 (annual) and CAT5 (five-year) tests—must be overseen by a licensed, third-party witness approved by the NYC Department of Buildings. Our job is simple: we observe, document, and help file all required DOB paperwork. We don’t replace your elevator contractor—we’re there to ensure everything is done by the book.

  • Licensed Bronx DOB Witnessing
  • Accurate Reporting & Documentation
  • Not Tied to Your Elevator Provider
  • Fully Independent & Neutral

Using Major Elevator to service our buildings was the best elevator decision we ever made. They are always punctual and do excellent work. We recently hired Major Elevator to install 2 new elevators and everything has been perfect. I would not consider using any other elevator company since I started working with them.
