Understanding Elevator Violations

What Triggers an Elevator Violation in NYC?

New York City issues elevator violations for missing inspections, unsafe conditions, or documentation errors. The two most common types are ECB and PVT violations, both of which can result in fines, shutdowns, or legal action if not handled quickly.

Violation Types

ECB Violation

Issued by the NYC Environmental Control Board — often tied to overdue inspections, missing documentation, or repeat safety concerns.

PVT Violation

Stands for Private Violation Ticket. Issued by a licensed elevator inspection agency when an elevator fails to meet safety standards or regulatory compliance.

“Violations can lead to major disruptions, but we know how to fix them fast and file everything right.”
