Establishes consumer-facing portal for elevator maintenance for owners of certain buildings to provide information on elevator servicer; requires certain signage; requires DCA to establish senior housing elevator maintenance loan program.
This bill requires owners of Group R-2 buildings (like apartment complexes) and senior housing to display clear signage at every elevator showing the elevator servicer's contact information and elevator ID number. It mandates the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create a public online database tracking elevator inspections, safety issues, and maintenance status. Additionally, DCA must establish a low-interest loan program specifically for senior housing owners to cover elevator maintenance costs. Building owners who fail to post required signage face escalating fines ($100 for first offense, up to $1,000 for repeat violations).
