Elevator Inspection and Testing Deficiency
Summary
The facility failed to comply with the required inspection and testing schedule for the elevator in Building #1, as mandated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers booklet A17-1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators 2004 Edition Section 8.11.1.3 and Table N-1. Specifically, there was no documented evidence that the elevator was tested during 2024, nor was it inspected in February 2025, which was six months after the previous inspection in August 2024. Additionally, the report from November 2023 indicated that necessary repairs and installations, such as the hoist way door guide repair, provision of back-up power for the emergency bell, and installation of a fire extinguisher with a passing annual test in the machine room, were not documented as completed. During an interview, the Facilities Manager acknowledged the oversight and mentioned plans to contact the vendor for scheduling and documentation.
