Massachusetts Elevator Code Authority
Authorities having jurisdiction are those government officials who are the final authority on questions in a particular area (or jurisdiction). The Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Security regulates all elevators, moving stairways, dumbwaiters, moving walks, material lifts and dumbwaiters with automatic transfer devices, wheelchair lifts, automatic people movers and other associated devices. Auto repair lifts, however, are not included.
M.G.L. c. 143, §62. Under M.G.L. c. 143, §63, all elevators must be inspected by the Department when they are initially installed. Additionally, all alterations to elevators must also be inspected by the Department upon completion of the alteration by the elevator company. Finally, under M.G.L. c. 143, §64, elevators must subsequently be inspected by the Department at least once per year. If your elevator is located in an owner-occupied, single-family residence, it must be inspected by the Department once every five years pursuant to M.G.L. c. 143, §64. (excerpt from state website)
