Email Communications Process for Elevators

By Brian Lafferty

Requesting information about outstanding elevator applications as well as   category 3 & 5 look up sheets has just gotten easier. Now, these requests may be submitted via email.

For elevator applications, the contact email is elepermitcopies@buildings.nyc.gov

For look up sheets, the contact email is elelookup@buildings.nyc.gov

Once a request is made, the elevator division unit will conduct a search for outstanding permit applications and send an email notification back. The response will include any fees owed and instructions to resolve open issues.

In the event of penalty requests, the Elevator Unit will calculate the fees owed and send an email notification of the amount due.
