What is an elevator inspection?

Your certificate, kept current.

Every elevator in Florida must be inspected on a set schedule to keep its Certificate of Operation valid. Skip it, and the state can fine you, and you lose your only proof the unit is safe to run.

An inspection verifies that the mechanical parts, control systems and safety features still meet the current elevator safety code, and flags anything that needs attention before it turns into an open violation.

How it works

From scheduling, to compliance

Every Brouss inspection follows the same clear path, from the first call to a renewed Certificate of Operation. Here is what to expect at each step.

01

Scheduling & intake

We book your inspection at a time that fits the building and gather the unit's details, service history and current certificate.

02

On-site inspection

A certified inspector evaluates the mechanical parts, control systems and safety features against the current safety code.

03

Findings & certification

You get a clear report of what passed, what failed and what needs attention. On pass, the Certificate of Operation is renewed.

04

Compliance support

If anything falls short, we help resolve the open items and coordinate the follow-up to bring the unit back into compliance.

Annual vs. five-year

What each inspection covers

Both keep your certificate current. The five-year goes deeper, with load and safety-device testing the annual doesn't include.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on inspections

Schedule, certificate, and what happens when something fails.

How often does my elevator need inspection?+
In Florida, elevators require an annual routine inspection to keep the Certificate of Operation current, plus a more comprehensive inspection every five years. We track both dates for you so nothing lapses.
What is a Certificate of Operation?+
It is the state-issued proof that your elevator is safe and code-compliant. You receive it after a passed inspection, and it must stay current, without it, the state can fine the building.
What happens if my elevator fails?+
You get a clear report of every open item. We help you resolve the deficiencies, coordinate any repair or modernization needed, and schedule the re-inspection to bring the unit back into compliance.
How long does an inspection take?+
An annual inspection is typically completed in a single visit. The five-year is more involved, with load and safety-device testing, so it takes longer and is scheduled around your building traffic.
Do you handle the violation follow-up?+
Yes. Beyond the inspection itself, our consulting team helps you clear open violations and stay ahead of the next cycle, so a finding never becomes a bigger problem.
