New Jersey Elevator Code Authority
Authorities having jurisdiction are those government officials who are the final authority on questions in a particular area (or jurisdiction).
The Elevator Safety unit registers all elevator devices in the State. Elevator devices consist of elevators (hydraulic, traction, winding drum, roped hydraulic, rack & pinion and limited use limited access), escalators, moving walks, dumbwaiters, wheel chair lifts, chair lifts and man lifts. The elevator subcode is regulated under the Uniform Construction Code in Subchapter 12. There are three choices a NJ municipality may make regarding the jurisdiction of the elevator subcode in its town. It may give jurisdiction to the State, it may hire its own local Subcode Official, or it may subcontract to a third party agency. If the State has jurisdiction in a town, the Elevator Safety unit coordinates inspections between the owner, elevator company and the State. The unit conducts all cyclical and acceptance (inspections under permit) inspections. Owners are billed for inspections directly by the State. (excerpt from state website)
