Before any new installation of an elevator or fixed guideway system of permanent
nature shall be erected or before any existing elevator is removed to a different
location, an application of specifications in duplicate shall be submitted to the
department giving such information concerning the construction, installation, and
operation of the elevator or fixed guideway system as the department may require
on forms to be furnished by the department, together with complete construction
plans in duplicate. In all cases where any changes or repairs are made which alter its
construction or classification, grade, or rated lifting capacity, except when made
pursuant to a report of an inspector, an application of specifications in duplicate
shall be submitted to the department containing such information for approval.
Upon approval of the application and construction plans, the department shall issue
a permit for the erection or repair of the elevator or fixed guideway system. No new
elevator or fixed guideway system shall be operated until completion in accordance
with the approved plans and specifications, unless a temporary permit is granted by
the department.
A permit issued under this section may be revoked by the department when:
(a) A false statement or misrepresentation of a material fact in the application,
plans, or specifications led to the issuance of the permit;
(b) The permit was issued in error;
(c) The work detailed under the permit is not being performed in accordance with
the application, plans, or specifications;
(d) Work is not being performed in accordance with the code or conditions of the
permit; or
(e) The elevator contractor to whom the permit was issued fails or refuses to
comply with a lawfully issued stop work order.
A permit issued under this section shall expire if:
(a) The work authorized by permit is not commenced within twenty-four (24)
months after the date of issuance, or within a shorter period of time as
specified by the department at the time the permit is issued; or
(b) The work is abandoned for a period of sixty (60) days after work commences,
or a shorter period of time as specified by the department at the time the
permit is issued.
The department shall allow an extension of the allotted period if proof of good
cause is provided with a request for an extension.
