Elevator inspection and test witnessing
We attend inspections and tests on the owner’s behalf, not the contractor’s: QEI certified inspectors, State of Florida Certified Elevator Inspectors, and NYC Department of Buildings licensed inspectors and directors.
What brings owners to us
Periodic and category tests
Including New York City Category 1 and Category 5 tests, witnessed and documented for the owner.
Acceptance testing
New and modernized equipment, before the building accepts the work and releases payment.
Open violations
When a building needs to know what is open, who is responsible, and how to clear it.
What’s included
We witness inspections and tests on the building’s behalf. A certified elevator inspector is there for the owner, not the contractor, and what is found is written down in a form that holds up.
- Periodic inspections and category testing, witnessed for the owner
- Acceptance testing on new and modernized equipment
- Independent confirmation that required tests were actually performed and passed
- Deficiency documentation that stands up to scrutiny
- Violation tracking and follow-through to resolution
