NYC Elevator Testing
Ensure your Manhattan building stays compliant and operational with professionally managed CAT1 and CAT5 elevator tests. Major Elevator simplifies the process, handling inspections, filings, and all necessary paperwork for NYC properties.
NYC Elevator Code Requirements
NYC law requires property owners to complete annual and five-year elevator tests to stay code compliant and avoid costly violations. Each test plays a critical role in ensuring your elevators remain safe, functional, and approved for use.
Performed once per year for each operational elevator. Confirms the safe performance of major systems like brakes, doors, alarms, and leveling. Includes DOB filing.
A comprehensive test performed every five years. Simulates full-capacity operation to ensure safety mechanisms and performance systems function under load. Includes DOB inspection and filings.
Missed tests can lead to costly violations, elevator shutdowns, and legal risk.

Elevator testing is more than a checkbox. Errors in testing, documentation, or timing can trigger violations, service interruptions, and risk. Major Elevator ensures your testing is done correctly, on time, and with zero surprises.
